Better take a nap, Monday

[husky429]

I'm in Spain - it starts at 3:20am. At least the Alabama game was Saturday (late late ) night. This is going to kill my Tuesday work day.

I'm counting on getting through it on a 6th NCAA tournament championship high.




Doomed

Where in Spain? I watched the 2014 championship from a dumpy Airbnb in Seville.

I'm in Japan. Game starts at 10:20 AM. Luckily I work from home these days.

Where is Japan? My family lived in Tokyo while I was at UConn from 1988 to 1991. My first semester of university was actually at temple univ Tokyo in the spring semester of 1989.

Ah, that's neat. I live in Hyogo, pretty much right between Kobe and Osaka.

We're leaving at 7am to head up to Burlington, VT for the eclipse.
Then drive home after so a late start is probably the best thing for us today on our long day of driving and dealing with crowds.

 

[MTBingNinja]

If UConn wins (Don’t want to say when [Doomed!]), I won’t be as tired Tuesday. If they lose (which they shouldn’t [Doomed!]), will be getting a large coffee on my way to work.

 

[Hankster]

Nice to be old and retired.

You got that right. I turn 73 in a couple of weeks. Between the girls and guys late game. I am surprised I made it through. Shocked actually. It's important to cater to our west coast audience.

 

[ThetaZoo]

When was the last time the game finished in 2:10? I add 30-60 extra minutes for every dvr game.

Pretty sure the 1999 championship game ended at 11:18. It's etched in my mind.

Have fun.

It's not, the timing of the end of the game so much, but the fact that one way or the other I'm going to be too wired to go to sleep. Still, it's a good problem to have.

 

[VanDunk]

I’m in UK. Starts at 2:48? Will sleep before I guess

I miss Tokyo - but even back then a simple draft beer was about $10. As a poor college student that was very restricting. For the same reason, I also wasn't able to travel around Japan much. I accompanied my sister to Osaka on a modeling gig. That's pretty much it.

But I've heard once you get out of the big cities, the cost of living in Japan can be pretty reasonable.

Take an extra long siesta in the afternoon.

Spain is like the ideal lifestyle

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Living in east Asia in 2014, didn’t sleep much during local night time leading to 9:xx AM tip off, planned to go to work but so wired post-game I just never left home. Pre-WFH, jubilant illness day.

I almost passed out that night. Have no idea what time it was. The most surreal feeling ever.

I was at that one. These days I’m five hours behind trying to not wake up the entire neighbourhood from a northern England terraced house.

 

[microfich]

In Phoenix for 6:20 pm scheduled tip-off.
[Mojo filter off]
After the game we'll bus back to our hotel, arriving around 10-10:30.
The team and trophy will arrive close to a mile away at the team's hotel probably around 11-11:30. It will be hard to avoid this. Usually a couple hundred fans attend. Yes, 'usually'. How lucky are we?
Have a couple there and cheer during Sports Center. Ceremonies will last an or hour or so. Back to our hotel by 1:00 am earliest.
Sleep if we can for 3:30 wake-up or more likely sleeplessly drink and cheer for duration and take 4:00 taxi to airport for 6:30 first flight leg back to CT consisting of wildly vivid dreams of joy.
Gladly.

Take a nap? Who can sleep?

 

[August_West]

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 dvr'ng of the game, I guess.

By who? What CT fan in their right mind would DVR this game?

 

[August_West]

I’m 25 this is early

Im 56 and I don't go even out to dinner until after 10:00 PM. @Deepster goes to the early bird specials at 4:30 PM with @Dove .

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Three late nights this last weekend so I’m dragging right now at work. I need to rally.

Incidentally if any of you maniacs were at Wrestlemania in Philly last night wearing a 1999 UConn Championship hat, that was me that said “Love that hat” while walking up the stairs…

By who? What CT fan in their right mind would DVR this game?

To be able to view again and to see repeat history hopefully made.

After first watching the game live, of course!

Even though we're supposed to get a 97% eclipse here, it's forecast to be very cloudy. And I've seen a couple, so I wouldn't feel bad sleeping through it.

I don’t get the eclipse hysteria. Doesn’t It get dark every night?
