Urban Meyer shielded from hostile Michigan signs at FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff, per report

Urban Meyer is not particularly popular in Michigan. Wolverine fans, though, are unable to show it (at least with signs) at the “Big Noon Kickoff” set.

Meyer is back on FOX’s traveling pregame show in 2022 after a season in the NFL. “Big Noon Kickoff” is in Ann Arbor on Saturday for No. 4 Michigan’s game against Maryland. According to Alejandro Zúñiga of 247Sports, FOX is not allowing Michigan fans to bring signs about Meyer to the pregame show’s outdoor set.

As Ohio State’s head coach, Meyer was 7-0 against Michigan. During Saturday’s show, Meyer praised the fans of his former rival up north.
