9:20 EDT Tipoff

[Marat]

I like the late start as it gives me time to see the eclipse and make it home in time for the game.

Isn't eclipse at about 3 20pm ?

Dolan was afraid of msg loosing nyc concerts and other events. Why play garden with 19k when could play jet’s stadium with 70k. Same work 3.5x money

I know what he thought, but a band that can sell 70K in tix is going to play Giants stadium instead, they aren't going to play MSG.

They can play both depending on the season. This isn’t an either/or situation.

Put a retractable roof on MetLife.

 

[Scoe]

Just take the next day off.

But if there was am option for an enclosed Manhattan stadium I think that would be a venue of choice for popular bands. U don’t play giants stadium Nov-April. No rainouts either

Yeah I said the same thing in 99, now I understand. Just wait.....

yup, i will be taking a nap between the eclipse and game for sure this year. I like to be awake and alert when I watch & no matter what the outcome is I will be wired and unable to sleep for a while after.

Mojo Thieves.

Better take a nap, Monday

with a scheduled 9:20 pm EDT, and probably a 9:30 or so tip off, it's a given that the game will not get over until well after midnight. I realize that the game is in Phoenix, western time zone, and there is a time difference, but this is the National Championship game. There will be a lot of...

Remember to stay up for One Shining Moment!

 

[Ha Who]

I have two kids under 4. 5 hours of sleep is just called night here!

It is different. I had premature twins we had to wake every three hours whether they were hungry or not. I didn’t sleep that first year and never slept again. I got use to it. No more 5 am runs. But the worst sleeps have been after the 9:20 tips. Come back in 35 years and you’ll understand.

I’m more depressed that the season ends tomorrow. It seems like we were just celebrating #5. This team is so special. We‘ve had more talented squads but none that exemplify the true meaning of team more than this one.

 

[dennismenace]

Gotta start it after the west coast folks get out of work.

LOL I was complaining to someone about Monday night football games starting late on the West Coast and he said how would you like to get up for 9:00 am NFL live show on Sunday morning?

Agree but after last season championship it seemed like Uconn BB became a fulltime sport for me following the recruiting not only of us but other teams. We've got the portal to go through and other roster changes to watch and whatever happens during the draft and aftermath. DH and Co will hopefully fill out the roster and get us into shape again in time for the opener. I agree very much about the team being so special this year. Hoping (and believing) that this is the new culture and standard. It's developing and playing at the highest level. Hats off to the entire staff and team for making this such a memorable season.

Dan Hurley's desperation a driving force behind UConn’s return to national title stage

Dan Hurley hugs his son, Andrew, after UConn’s national championship victory last year. The two have another chance to make history together...

West coast is the best coast for football. College and pro.
You can start at 8:00am on Saturday for college football and literally watch every game and be in bed by 10pm.
NFL starts at 10am and you are done by 8pm.

 

[Deepster]

Grown men complaining about "only" getting 4 to 5 hours of sleep due to watching their team play for a national title.

Same pansies that say doomed every friggin day.

Yes and right now I'm crawling on 89 and my ETA is 8:58

 

[Fishy]

Blame sheldon silver pre indictment…he single handedly squashed the Jets NYC stadium as Dolen‘s proxy

It wasn’t single handed.

It was every oaf on the west side.

 

[Jaker]

Started my pre-game meal: Roasted potatoes in garlic/olive oil, sausage, eggs and beer.

LG!

 

[TerryBoyz]

Okay… rookie mistake thinking Hulu would work on my mobile while I’m here in Paris. Anyone have any suggestions on how to watch the game tonight

[CardiacAndre7]

Gives me time for a quick post-work nap, which is incredibly necessary today.

Haha, I know, I was just skiing in Switzerland during the Big East tourney and to my surprise, none of the games were being played in the chalets.

 

[GlastonTim]

These late game starts do suck but more so because of just waiting for the start time. To much anticipation as the day goes on.
I’m also on week 2 of retirement so the late ending won’t affect me Tuesday morning.

Congrats on your retirement.
