Midnight tip off?

[sportsart]

Correct. I checked the PK 80 website near the end of the UCONN game, and the winners’ bracket showed the game in 9:30 slot. So it was a last minute change when ESPN didn’t get the Oregon/ Michigan State match it expected.
I’ll stay up anyway, but I agree, it’s ESPN disrespecting UCONN as usual..

An 80 year old rich man is responsible for the change in time. Makes no sense to show 2 EST teams at midnight on the East Coast.

I'm glad I still have my meth dealer on speed dial.

Don’t wonder too hard dumb dumb. Your head might explode.
Showing a lack of respect is not the same as intentionally trying to screw someone.

I guess ESPN has no respect for Michigan State, Florida, and Gonzaga too. Do you tie your own shoes?

It is amazing how pathetic our fan base is. Power 5 athletic program but a MEAC fan base.

All I can do is shake my head at a lot of the people posting in this thread. That post complaining about a 9:30 start takes the cake though.


Biggest UConn game in the last couple years and people would rather cry that it starts at midnight on a holiday weekend.

Works out great for me here in Japan. 2:00PM on Saturday afternoon. Rare that I get games at normal, watchable hours here

Same here. I'm up in Saporro with a few coworkers for the long weekend.

I think I'm being out voted 4-1 so they can watch Mich/OSU football but I'll figure out something.

Thread talking about the game, or the spread on the game gets 6-10 posts, a thread to complain about the time or channel its on gets 5 pages. Sums up our fan base.

Those games are 12 hours apart........

We are visiting China now but might not be around at. 2.

Here’s what it boils down to:

They thought Oregon was going to beat us, and they wanted a prime time game for their market. We stuck it to them. I will gladly take our 12 AM game during Oregon’s previously assumed prime time. Let’s go.

Lol. Yep. We we're looking at schedule last night after hitting hard and clubs.
And we were verifying it this morning while waking up in a haze. Upon third review, I should be good to go. Plenty of Sapporo Black labels will be drank during this game.

At least those who watch will be on the network when they do another late Friday/early Saturday layoff at ESPN
That network has turned into the CNN of sports
They have alienated so many viewers
It's a sports network - when will they get back to that format?
I think it may be too late

No matter what time it is - Go Huskies

TRUTH!!!!
May they keep laying off people until there is no one left.
CNN of sports sounds about right, next thing you know Don Lemon will be their color commentator.
You reap what you sow BSPN, have fun with the layoffs

Yes, but does it count as a 5 page thread when 3 of the pages are from your posts Jerry?

 

[wethyhusky]

Or you could just stay up and enjoy the game like the rest of us.

You are tougher than I am. I’ll watch in the morning

 

[Jerry1714]

BC would have a better record than UVA.....

You implied I stated that ESPN was intentionally trying to screw UCONN. I pointed out your obvious flaw in reasoning, and now you make another idiotic leap in flawed reasoning. I’m done with you dumb-dumb.
Stop drinking, at least for tonight.

 

[HuskiesAllDay]

Is bridges playing?

You’re generally a good poster when you aren’t being a total . Who cares if people stay up to watch or record it? I’ll be staying up to watch it live, but if some fans want to record it then why do you care so much? Maybe turn the douchiness down a tad

I don't care about that. I care that people think they scheduled this game at midnight for the sole purpose of screwing over UConn.

I, and other Boneyarders, work there. Rooting for someone else to lose their job is not a good look.

Agreed. People feed their families off of these jobs. Wishing for someone to lose their job(who doesn’t deserve it) is about as low as you can get

Yeah! I mean, I might deserve it, but it'd suck.

 

[Hurleyman216]

If you think people are mad about the midnight tip-off, just wait until this Oregon/DePaul game goes into double OT

 

[The X Man]

DePaul/Oregon is going double OT

 

[zls44]

DePaul wins in 3 OT, hurting UConn's win over Oregon, pushing the UConn-MSU tip to 1:30 AM.

The Mucinex I just took has started my nose to drip like Niagara Falls. I may be crashing by the 1o minute mark...

 

[JMick]

so who else is drunk?

I'm more congested than I ever remember being.

 

[superjohn]

It feels wrong rooting for Oregon, I really don't like Dana Altman.

 

[8893]

I don’t care who wins this Oregon DePaul game. I just want it to end.

 

[August_West]

Not me. It doesn’t mix with the k-hole I’m in.
