Any buckeye lurkers out there? Question about OS/UM starting times......

[OhioLion]

I was having a discussion about the starting time of the UM/OS game. My nephew argues it has started at the 8:00 game a few times.
I called BS.
My question is this, has this game EVER had a kickoff time other than 12:00 noon? Or, possibly, the 1:00 time many moons ago? My thinking is, no, it has always been the 12:00 game.

TIA

Never been an 8:00 game. Was a 3:30 start when OSU was #1 and Mich was #2 when Troy Smith and Chad Henne played. I think OSU won 35-31.

2006 was 3:30

As far as I recall, never a night game--in fact, that's been the Big Ten rule for November games up until recently. But, back in the day, the lineup for that day was tOSU-UM at 1, followed by USC-UCLA at 4. That's one reason for it.
