PSA: Strong downpour and cold winds expected for Saturday night
As I'm sure we'll hear in greater detail from our resident meteorologist soon, the forecast is calling for heavy rain and strong (chilly) wind for Saturday late afternoon/evening this weekend - just in time for the UM-ND game! Fun!
Plan accordingly if you want to tailgate or have a passing offense.

I used to think the universe was indifferent, but now I'm convinced it's trying to kill us.
October 24th, 2019 at 6:28 AM ^
Is “us” Michigan football or humanity in general? #NoPolitics
October 24th, 2019 at 6:35 AM ^
Possibly, since humanity doesn't include Buckeye fans...
October 24th, 2019 at 6:36 AM ^
Only the cockroaches survive.
October 24th, 2019 at 7:22 AM ^
I thought you said #nopolitics...
October 24th, 2019 at 7:43 AM ^
I thought he was not including Buckeyes.
October 24th, 2019 at 9:36 AM ^
Brian Kelly will also survive - he's a close relative to cockroaches.
October 24th, 2019 at 11:26 AM ^
But his GAs are in great danger.
October 24th, 2019 at 12:09 PM ^
And Kelly could care less. He'll have 'em up in some cherry picker.
October 24th, 2019 at 6:58 PM ^
Oh great. Come here and read some more human-centric propaganda.
October 24th, 2019 at 8:25 AM ^
To quote "Deteriorata" by the National Lampoon: "You are a fluke of the universe, You have no right to be here, And whether you can hear it or not, The universe is laughing behind your back."
October 24th, 2019 at 8:30 AM ^
Respectfully submit November 2016 as a Michigan fan as Exhibit 1 of said universe bias.
October 24th, 2019 at 8:39 AM ^
You might be able to throw last Saturday in there as well. And, hell, Sparty 2015
October 24th, 2019 at 10:55 AM ^
I assume that includes bad coaching.
October 24th, 2019 at 11:01 AM ^
Yeah nothing skewed about this opinion on that game.
October 24th, 2019 at 6:24 AM ^
This game should have been scheduled for noon or 3:30 to avoid situations like this. I shouldn’t have to worry about taking my daughter to games like this due to the shitty weather. It’s supposed to be a family event.
end old guy rant.
October 24th, 2019 at 6:39 AM ^
What If it storms badly All day, but stops at 6 ? Then the time was helpful and lucky. You really upset they didn’t predict the weather when scheduling the game ?
October 24th, 2019 at 6:41 AM ^
Daytime rain is usually not as cold and nasty as night time rain if that makes any sense. I guess I just dislike night games in late fall. But I understand why they are scheduled.
October 24th, 2019 at 8:56 AM ^
Technically, this isn't late fall. It's still really early fall, as autumn is Sept 23 through Dec 21. We're still in the first half of fall until mid-November. I'll give you "mid-fall" but "late fall" is out of bounds.
But yeah, I take your point otherwise. Night games in fall in the midwest is always a risky proposition.
October 24th, 2019 at 9:00 AM ^
This is not late autumn. It’s a month old.
October 24th, 2019 at 9:18 AM ^
You obviously didn't attend the WMU game a few years back. A noon game, the first week of September, and the game cancels in the 3rd due to a typhoon.
But I'm with you, build an entire space dome over the entire city even. That way you won't even get wet while walking back to your vehicle.
October 24th, 2019 at 9:25 AM ^
That game was a 3:30 game
October 24th, 2019 at 9:27 AM ^
You know, I was wondering why it got dark so quick after it was called...
Still, you can't predict these things.
October 24th, 2019 at 7:19 AM ^
Clearly it's Harbaugh's fault.
October 24th, 2019 at 9:02 AM ^
I'm sure he's doing it on purpose as a final f@#k you before he high-tails it for that killer job as the new Redskins HC.
What a jerk.
/s (just in case)
October 24th, 2019 at 6:19 PM ^
Seriously. $7mm and it’s still going to rain and be cold? What happened to the fiery coach that could control the weather? We deserve more for our money. Time to move on.
October 24th, 2019 at 8:10 AM ^
There's on average a 10-15 degree swing between day and night, which in late Oct can be the difference between wet and miserable to wet and hypothermic. The B1G already doesn't do Nov night games for this very reason, and the last weekend in Oct is only marginally better.
October 24th, 2019 at 9:02 AM ^
October 24th, 2019 at 9:47 AM ^
I seem to remember a November night game at Kinnick not too long ago...
October 24th, 2019 at 2:04 PM ^
Yep, e.g. 2017 Michigan-Minnesota game
October 24th, 2019 at 2:54 PM ^
But both teams need to agree for it to be a night game.
October 24th, 2019 at 3:06 PM ^
The first weekend in November is fair game for the TV networks to decide on a night game. After that, it has to be agreed upon by both schools aka not happening.
October 24th, 2019 at 7:57 AM ^
Because it never rains at noon in michigan.
October 24th, 2019 at 8:08 AM ^
What if it storms at noon? Signed, 'Nother Old Guy
October 24th, 2019 at 8:35 AM ^
So it never rains during the day in Ann Arbor?
October 24th, 2019 at 8:39 AM ^
that's not an old guy rant. that's a dumb guy rant.
October 24th, 2019 at 12:46 PM ^
I called it that because of the complaint.
October 24th, 2019 at 8:59 AM ^
October 24th, 2019 at 9:06 AM ^
Don't listen to these haters SagNasty. It is rare that the nighttime is warmer than the day, what with the Sun being the Sun and all. I'll take sitting in rain during the day over sitting in rain during the night any day. Or night.
October 24th, 2019 at 12:39 PM ^
Thank you. That was my point. I knew it would be unpopular.
October 24th, 2019 at 2:30 PM ^
...you do realize it rains at noon and 3:30 too, right?
October 24th, 2019 at 4:50 PM ^
You didn’t read my post. I said it is usually a little warmer when the sun is still up and it rains as opposed to raining at night.
October 24th, 2019 at 6:25 AM ^
Not looking forward to being cold, wet, drunk, and angry on Saturday night.
October 24th, 2019 at 7:57 AM ^
Then choose to be not angry. It is a choice...
October 24th, 2019 at 9:35 AM ^
Totally is, and all of this stuff is bothering me less than it used to. Just sucks that the weather is going to be shit. I was hoping for better.
October 24th, 2019 at 7:59 AM ^
Get some rain gear and don't drink?
October 24th, 2019 at 9:57 AM ^
I thought this was America? S/
October 24th, 2019 at 8:15 AM ^
My ex girlfriend was often all four.
