FRESABD ALEXIS FLOYD Editor in Chief Business Manager 734-647-3336 734-764-0558 fresard@michigandaily.com floyd@michigandaily.com Why does Michigan football have an aversion to night games? Hint: It's not because they're afraid of the dark Lloyd Carr, head coach of the Michigan football team, isn't afraid of much. In more than 25 years as a mem- ber of Michigan's coaching staff, he has confidently dealt with media scrutiny, troubled players and matchups with bitter rivals. The dark seems to make Carr cringe, though. He doesn't let Michigan play any home games at night. In recent years, more and more college football games have been played on Saturday nights to coin- cide with television primetime. Starting last year, ABC began broadcasting college football games played at 8 p.m. At a press conference on Dec. 31, ABC executives revealed that the primetime series brought on its strongest ratings in a decade, and that it would be renewed for next season.. Michigan traveled to Penn State to play in one of these games on Oct. 14. Two weeks before, ESPN had scheduled the Wolverines to play at 8 p.m. when they were in Minneapolis to bat- tle Minnesota. Carr, annoyed, was quick to criticize the trend. After a night game, the team arrives back home very late at night. Because it takes a day to unwind after a long trip, the team loses a day of practice that Carr has said he would rather use preparing for the next week's game. Unfortunately for Carr, the shift toward night games seems like it will continue. Students often like night games for the same reason that many administrators oppose them. Later games mean more time to tailgate, with the greater leavel of intoxica- tion that entails. When Michigan plays later games - even ones that begin at 4 p.m. -the Athletic Department has to pay for the temporary lights. Add the problems some players have catching a ball at night, and it becomes clear why Carr opposes night games at the Big House. one thing is certain: As long as the Wolverines remain an elite football team, networks will want to run Michigan games at night.
