Saturday Tip 8:49pm

I get it, I'm just frustrated at having to stay up again. Did fine yesterday, but for the ladies game at 9 recently, I was falling asleep before the game ever started. It's a crap shoot.

If you are going to complain about having to stay up until 11pm on a Saturday night to watch your team play in the final 4, you need to turn in your fan card.
 
Sunset in Houston is 7:39pm on Saturday. Right about tip off.

It's obvious UConn staff and players who are fasting have a nutrition plan in place but this should allow Sanogo to to start replenishing his nutrition at their time table throughout the game.
He can take a sip of water during the game. Hydration is key.

I just said I was falling asleep sitting upright watching the women's game. It's got nothing to do with my fandom, it's my body potentially shutting down for the night. And screw you on the man card comment. I've been a fan of UConn hoops & soccer since I was 10 in 1977. I'm a fan of all things UConn, academics and all sports. I've even got a freshman there. Go pedal your snarky attitude somewhere else.
 
I'm close to your age and I go to bed at 3 am most days. LOL!
I'm up at 6, even on weekends. That internal clock is a b*tch. Sometimes I wake up at 5-ish and the mind is racing. Those are the days I eventually head bob myself to sleep on the couch by 9.

Sorry, it was meant to be more jokingly than you took it (or it came across).

I fall asleep during women's games no matter what time it is.

Avoid beer. Can bring on drowsiness.
 
Agreed.
I jokingly meant thinking as opposed to acting but this would explain the difficult in staying awake for late games. Still no excuse.

I have spoken!
 
I personally prefer the later games. Too much other crap going on during the day and early evening. By 8-9pm can fully concentrate on just the game. Earlier games I DVR for that reason too.

All good. Without a laughing face or some key to let me know, I figured you were being an internet tough guy.
The wife heads to bed at 8 to read and I'm usually a 9-9:30 guy. Again, the internal clock is a b*tch.

If it was a regular season game, I'd DVR it, watch about half of it and watch the rest the next day.
 
I was expecting and hoping it to be the 2nd game due to UConn vs __, as opposed to FAU vs SDST/Creighton .

I was invited to my wife's cousin's 50th birthday dinner at 6pm Sat, so I was really hoping we'd be the prime time game. At least now I don't need to create any excuses or watch on delay. I need to go thru my mojo ritual, and luckily should be fine.

I'm less concerned with your ability to stay awake than Adama's ability to be able to hydrate during the game...If he can play a game without eating or drinking...you should be able to stay awake. :D

The women's game is worthy of a 2 min check in IMO....watching an entire game would def put me to sleep.

I suppose the 2nd game is better, but I wish it was at 8:00 not 8:49. I'll have to find someplace to watch it in Saint Simon's Georgia. Hotel has a nice little pub, but lousy TVs. So I did some searching and this may be my best bet outside the hotel room. Brogen's South - Pier Village, St. Simons Island
 
I can't believe that a handful of days before the final four (which we happen to be participating in) there's a thread basically telling people we have fans that are too old to stay up for the later games.

Since that likely means me, I'm just lamenting that the 2 east coast teams didn't get the earlier time slot and the west coast team get the later slot, but as others have said, that's what happens when you're the marquee team left alive. All of us will be awake for the game.
Excellent use of Abe Simpson. Kudos on that one.

In addition to what @Fairfield_1st said, which is valid (although FAU is not west cost and it occurs to me Miami has two schools in the final four), the times just stink overall. The times of the games yesterday were much better. Play one of these at 3 and the other at 6. It's a weekend. Saturday night at 9:00 eastern isn't going to drive ratings, although it probably helps sports bars. MNF moved start back to 8:15 on purpose.

Why aren't those times going to drive ratings? People tend to do things during the day on a Saturday and watch TV at night on a Saturday.

College football suggests otherwise. People are often free during the day but have nighttime plans (dinner, movies, parties, concerts). There are no first run shows on Saturday nights because it's the worst night of the week for TV.
