I'm in a jam..

[SUfaninAZ]

If it's any consultation, I'll be on a plane to Park City at 4. This is a scoreboard watcher.

 

[CuseTroop]

Even bigger jam... Why am I not finding Time Warner on the list of cable providers on watchespn.com?!

See if Spectrum is on there. Time Warner merged with Charter and is called Spectrum now

I tried the spectrum one, but it's not accepting the log in info I was provided. Hrm, Maybe my friend changed their info.

When Fios merges with Charter, it's going to be called Farter.

You're right. Time Warner Spectrum isn't listed. Did you figure out what to do?

Not yet. I noticed it the other night on Apple TV. I did some quick googling, and thought I saw that it was just an apple-time warner thing.

It doesn't work on my phone anymore either.

This might ruin my evening...

Drop out of school and start cooking meth. It's the only rational solution

Actually the Charter Spectrum option worked for me the 3rd time I tried it. Must have typed my password in wrong. It took my Time Warner email and password though.

Hrm, I'll text my buddy, maybe they changed the password and forgot to tell me haha.

Duh. Call in a bomb threat. Voila, lecture cancelled. This is the problem with academics, no common sense.

 

[JOC44]

Too bad you're not an economist, then you could just assume you're watching the game.

[SUFaninNJ]

Start ESPN3, go to the lecture, and by the time you get home it might have finally loaded.

Relax, you've got plenty of time.

After all of this, if I don't hear some kick ass evolution of endothermy in birds and mammals stories in NOLA, I'll be very disappointed.

Do what I used to do in high school during the NCAA Tourney...wear a long sleeve shirt, plug some wired ear buds into your device, run the wire through your shirt so the ear bud is in your palm...then just rest your head on your hand with your hand covering your ear and listen to the game while attending the lecture. If you run wires to both hands, you can switch hands that your head is leaning on.

I used to do this with old style Walkman type foam headphones...

Or you just call your dad from a random classroom phone when you're in 7th grade to come pick you up to get home to watch the first round game against Manhattan, and just walk out of the school without telling anyone as your dad picks you up in a syracuse van he drove back from campus/work

Not like I'm talking from experience or anything... Good year 2003

Wouldn't have worked for me as what was available when I was in HS would have been too obvious:

 

[DoubleDee]

The beauty of DVR. Or WatchESPN. Do what you have to do, and tell everyone to keep their dang mouth shut!!

 

[CuseCrew08]

I had the same situation for Louisville last year. WatchESPN has a full replay with very little commercials immediately after the game ends. I would expect the game to be over by 7PM your time, have someone text you when the game is over so you don't accidentally load the end of the game. At 7PM you can start the game and REALLY start tying them on

Still doesn't solve his other issue...cusetroop will need to use his cell phone and some earbuds for the game.

Annnnd that's what happened lol. Switched cable providers when they moved. I should be good to go now!

 

[orange79]

This week is our big one. There's a lecture tonight that I'm skipping (Evolution of endothermy in birds and mammals) but I have to attend the reception immediately after (heard they got 21 bottles of wine for this thing)

Did they get enough for everyone else?

 

[CuseTroop]

So much left over wine lol. Should be able to finish it up at the potluck tonight tho!

Going to try to stream the game on my phone, depending where I end up sitting. I'll be back in the chatroom around 8pm eastern though!

LGO!!

 

[CuseTroop]

My job might make me miss a game or two here and there, but they let me bring the pup! I'm not sure how long I'll be able to keep bringing him to work, but having him at the office the last month has been amazing

 

[temery]

Too late for this game, but here's what you can do next time:

Watch the game, then shave your beard. When you show up for work a day or two later, coworkers will think, "Oh, that's why I couldn't pick him out in the crowd, he shaved his beard. He looks so different."

During the academic year, my department holds a weekly lecture series. Every Friday, from 3-4. It's not exactly mandatory that I attend, but if I don't have meetings, or I'm not fighting deadlines I normally go to show support, and catch some knowledge on whatever topic the lecture happens to be on.

We had our first one of the year last week. I missed it as I was in Anchorage visiting Cuse fans that we met in the Bahamas.

This week is our big one. There's a lecture tonight that I'm skipping (Evolution of endothermy in birds and mammals) but I have to attend the reception immediately after (heard they got 21 bottles of wine for this thing)

Tomorrow, from 3-4, the same researcher (from South Africa) will be giving a talk about the legacy of our lecture series, and will be sharing stories about his work with many of the researchers who have participated in this lecture series. I've been pretty excited about it since we announced it early in the summer.

Yesterday it hit me, Cuse kicks off at 3.

Do I miss the first hour of our season opener?
Do I skip the lecture? (also mandatory is another reception at my Directors house a few hours after the lecture. I'm sure I'll be in many conversations about both lectures, so it would probably be smart to attend at least one)

Ughhh I hate time zones.

 

[Toga]

You're holding back on all those evolution of endothermy in birds and mammals stories.
