Miami hosts Ball State same day as The Game

I know I’ve been in Yeager Stadium watching Miami play football at the same time as the Tosu - Meechigan game. But it hasn’t happened for a very long time. Looking at the 2025 schedule, Miami is hosting Ball State on November 29th with a time TBA.

We know The Game is at noon the Saturday after Thanksgiving. So any rumors of an 11am start time for Miami? 1pm? Maybe a 6pm late night kickoff? Nothing better in a semi-closed Oxford Uptown than a Saturday night football game on Thanksgiving Weekend!

A definite scheduling coup!

The Game is on November 22nd this year in New Haven. Why is that a problem for us?

Personally I don’t give a flying fuck about Ohio State or Michigan. If it’s not Miami fuck’em!

It doesn’t matter. The students are all going to be home for Thanksgiving break anyway. That is the one time an OSU game will probably have zero impact on attendance for a Miami home game.

And the reason it hasn’t happened in a long time is because we often end the season with a Tuesday or Wednesday game. Last year, we played at BG on a Friday. In 2023 we played at Ball State on a Saturday (at the same time as OSU/Michigan). So you can take the mid-week night game (which will have typical MAC attendance) or the holiday weekend afternoon game (which will have typical MAC attendance).
