Are they serving breakfast on the way home? It’ll be like a red eye flight.

Is the game really at 10pm in Philly? Or am I seeing bad info somewhere

 

[Vuce]

No that time is correct. 10pm in Philly - and that’s only if the game ahead of it finishes timely

10pm game local time? No thanks. I dont mean specific to uconn fans. No game needs to start that late unless its being played on west coast. Even with the the tournament playing on 15 channels at once they couldn't manage a more reasonable start. All glory to money!

At this point, just win baby. Go Huskies!

Yeah, it's complete BS. Really horrible decision by whoever made it. No game in eastern time should start that late, and we know the game before will run 20-25 minutes long. So we're looking at game end around 12:30. Most sports bars won't even be open, so the opportunities for fans to get out to watch the game is reduced, let alone those who are actually there.

Fora 10 pm start you’re better off getting a buddy, taking the train to Philly and splitting a hotel room to stay the night. You’re still not driving, the cost difference isn’t going to be much more and you’re not on a bus at 3:30 am.

Any place that calls itself a 'Sports bar' that isn't open past midnight on a Friday should have their liquor license suspended. 😉
Anyway, i did a quick search of sports bars west of Hartford. Most are open till 1 and 2AM.

I can assure you this decision wasn’t about the money. Well, bringing in money for this game. Why? Because the money (eyeballs) would be significantly bigger for an 8pm start. I’ve worked in sports for 30+ years. Viewership for prime time sports typically peaks around 9:15-9:30 and even the coveted younger demo peaks by 10pm. Someone screwed up here, or the rights holders (CBS and TNT) simply felt that ratings wouldn’t be big for schools in CT and South Carolina. If that were the case, this game should have been scheduled in the afternoon.

Even the sports book at my local casino closes at midnight. My local "sports bar" is an Irish Pub, and does close at 1:00 officially. But most likely nobody would be there and it would stay open just for us. But it doesn't matter, because I don't want to be up that late, even at home, let along out drinking. Some of us aren't 24 anymore.

Yep. I'll probably take a nap after dinner. 😉

I met many 'yarders. If his goal is to fill the bus, he can probably do it with about a dozen 'yarders.
