UConn late game on Friday

[GoUconn7961]

Sounds like my wife. She goes crazy If Uconn is not winning by 30.

I'm anxious for every big game where the stakes are high. I typically record them so I can watch them afterwards in a more relaxed state of mind. I don't die w/a loss though - I know life goes on. And, I don't mind a close, well-played game that goes down to the wire either - just not at this time of year..lol

CT Post: Brian Koonz: ESPN burns its base with late tipoff

I bet the players are fine with a late game - they'd be up really late and sleeping late anyway if left to their own druthers

If that's true that would be so great. I was expecting a 9 pm start - like Geno said: crazy start times.

No, they don't want to go up against Prime Time Sunday night.

930 estimated start time
As expected for the marquee program



And let the whining begin ....

Really? So many likes for sarcasm? What have we come to?

But, but, everybody knows that old white men in Florida are the heart of the fan base. We have dinner at 5, play some shuffleboard, escape inside when it's dusk, don our nightshirts and go to bed. This is beyond unfair!

I feel sorry for the Stanford fans on the West Coast( who work). Some, will not be home when their game begins. It will start at 4:30, their time. But, it's all about the MONEY.
The largest group of fans(nation-wide), will tune in to the UCONN game. I believe that is why ESPN put UCONN in the late game.

Tough on us who depend on replays...in the East

They can watch it on their phone until they get home or to a sports bar, or they could play hooky.

Should have one game at 6 and then the other at 9 ET if you have to have evening games. Having the game finish at midnight is a bit late I think.

OMG! Stop, just stop! 6 pm for a semi-final game is not logical and has not been used before. Just suck it up and deal with it, I mean it's a FRIDAY NIGHT! Smile people this is a good problem to have!

So where in that specific routine do you yell "hey kid, get off my lawn!" Before 5 pm dinner or right after?

We have alligators to keep them at bay. Now moles and fire ants, well that's different.
