Early Thursday Game

[Barry McCockner]

You really need to question your life choices if you can't free yourself up to watch a rough ridin' basketball game.  Guys in prison can probably arrange that.

March Madness, overall, coincides with the end of a fiscal quarter.

March, June, September, and December are all bad months for me.

Pro-tip:  Long working lunch at a sports bar.

i did plan off months in advance. things happen though. it's called life, bad person.

Dang, sorry daris.

6 seed

yep, found it after a few seconds of research.  that was in orlando wasn't it?  so it was like a home game for tulane... we got screwed!!!!

I don't remember the time though.  When we lost to New Mexico I think that was a early afternoon game.  Maybe a 2ish type game.

Watching the Cats win so early on the first day is just going to make the first two days of the torn-a-ment even better.

yeah, you can enjoy a full 48 hours of hoops to the fullest.

Its going to be fantastic.

And who didn't plan ahead and already have Thurs/Fri off of work MONTHS ago?!?!

Sheesh.

10 bucks says bigwillie20 didn't!

They might have to simulcast a Syracuse-KSU game on 2 networks.

Questions...

1. What time could you get off to watch?
2. Do you think you could go that long without finding out the score?
3. Do you have DVR?

[MakeItRain]

Does this almost guarantee that we have the early game Saturday as well?

Depends, obviously a prime time slot is favorable but I think the first time slot on Saturday is a stand alone game.  The first two games in our pod are total dogs as far as national television goes, but a Syracuse/KSU second round game is ratings gold.  In '10 we played UNT in an early session but Jimmer in prime time.  The times for Saturday will be assigned on Thursday night.

eff this.  I have 6 total exams this semester and 2 are on thursday, one in the early afternoon.

Just found out I have mandatory new employee orientation (eventhough I've been here a month) from 1-4, with an introductory lunch at noon with just myself, another new manager, a couple of directors, and our SVP at noon.  I have already emailed the lady putting on the orientation to start the presentation off with a note on the 1st powerpoint slide:

"If you are checking your phones for NCAA tournament results, please refrain from discussing those results with others.  There are individuals with strong interests with games in progress and they do not want to hear any spoilers.  Those individuals thank you for your cooperation."
