What’s the deal with scheduling?

[ConnHuskBask]

6:30 games are good if you’re making time to go to the game - not so good if you’re watching from home. Generally, I just miss the first 45 minutes or so.

Sunday games were one of the indignities of being in the American. Not thrilled to see them returning with such vigor.

Why don't you just dvr the game? The ability to fast forward instant replays and 4 guys looking at a shot clock to adjust it forward or back 1 second for 7 minutes is worth it alone.

We used to have more Saturday games because we were on Big Monday all the time.

Enlighten me.

Okay! A Saturday noon game affords me the time to have some beers at the game and plan the rest of the evening around it and make the game a proper event.

Sunday Noon I’m going to be stressing more about what I need to do before the weekends over and getting my home in order for the week ahead.

I’m going to have way more fun at a Saturday game. No question.

I mean I guess. Millions of people go and/or watch football games every Sunday at noon/1pm, enjoy beverages, the whole shebang. In fact, it's the most popular sporting event in the country.

I like 6:30 weekday starts now.

Who was at the game? On TV it sounded like no one was there and then with 5 or left you see people walking out

I was there, literally no one was there except some old bags knitting and some egg heads having a book club meeting in section 104.

Why don’t you record the game and then watch them the next day?

I can rarely stay up for a late start, but if I watch a 6:30 game like last night, I never get to sleep.

 

[UConniki]

You guys ever hear of a dvr? I don’t think I’ve seen a game all year live because we all work different schedules and we simply try and meet at 8:00/9:00 so we can watch the games together ( being able to fast forward through the commercials is nice too ). TMHO

I've been complaining to my father (Big husky fan obvi) how I hate the 630 weekday starts.
I haven't found a single person that likes them.

Is this a Big East scheduling issue? I dont remember 630 starts in the AAC but i could be misremembering.

Its the FOX Big East contract... no team is choosing to start at 6:30

'Still haven't gotten to sleep.

I don’t get to many games, so I’ll be the guy who says it helps me get to bed a bit earlier. And even if going it gets me home earlier.

I like 630.

1 vote.

6:30 is perfect! Younger generation can go out after the game, start drinking. My generation, to bed!

Sometimes I do?

Went to the game yesterday with buddies from Ffld county. They didn’t show up until it was 24-8. Work, traffic, parking…

Hoping next year this game is on a Saturday

 

[Chin Diesel]

Can't believe they have to play a 1pm Central time game on Saturday.

That's absolutely brutal for an east coast team.

And it's worse for fans. Right in the middle of a Saturday afternoon. Yuck.
