Would be thrilled if UConn pulls this off. On a personal note, this will be an exhausting weekend. UConn tonight, & I'm staying up to watch the game live. Up at 6 A.M. to work until 1 P.M., then off to nephew's wedding at 3 P.M. with reception to follow until midnight. If UConn wins, the alums at the party (& there are MANY) will have extra incentive to party. Told the Mrs. that she's the bus driver on Saturday.

Oh, and GOOO HUSKIES!

Coach - You just got hosed a tad bit further...

From Jim Fuller blog: "The official start time is 10:15 p.m. but media out here in Utah have reported that the time window for the opening kickoff is between 10:21-10:26 p.m."

Game's on ESPN2. In this day in age, I can't think of any bar (unless they don't have a TV) that doesn't carry ESPN2.

Nope. It's pizza. Only question is who has the best pizza and what toppings to put on it.
Pastrami, potato, and Jell-O pizza from the 7-11 freezer chest.

My menu tonight would be most likely illegal in Utah. Beer battered shrimp (made with beer with an initial ABV >3.2%, Steak tips with a red wine and bourbon reduction, and I'm putting Vodka in my black raspberry Jell-O.

Smart phone WatchESPN App and Wi-Fi hotspot (3 & 4G LTE is probably sparse). Hope you have more than a few Gig on your data plan!!!

Sticks also = limited reception, methinks. If I gotta hike a mountain and hold my phone high up in the air to watch, I will. My tailgate: tree bark and bear poop.

The issue is not finding a bar in the Berkshires with the game on. The issue will be finding one open until at least 1:30 and not kicking you out before the game is over.

This is why scotch is such a wonderful thing. Bartenders love it too and tonight they will drink it free if I can stay and watch.

Same menu as if you were in Utah!!! Impressive.;)

I could be wrong, but I think Wi-Fi hot spots come from satellites orbiting the Earth, not cell antennas.

I 'm thinking about taking a pre-game nap. #old #getoffmylawn
I don't consider myself old, but I actually did this last February vs. SMU. It was my niece's birthday and we were down in New Jersey. I fell asleep around 7:30 and woke up right before tip off.
