Its too bad Tuesday night's game is 9 pm

[OrangeDW]

It’s those fing TPS reports, always ruin my week

Did you see the memo?

 

[Nicknack]

What course is open Tuesday in Syracuse?

I'm not sure, but I can provide some nice recommendations to some great courses in the Tampa Bay area. I'll even treat you to a round if you want join me on Tues. Tee time 3pm.

Don’t worry about the students. We will most certainly be there. It’s the first real game for most of us since December.

I can second this. I think the only group of people the 9 pm start time benefits is the students. Some of us have classes until 7 and later. We are going to show out LGO!

Sure. How's Streamsong sound? I'll meet you at the 1st tee. Although I've always wanted to play Copperhead. LOL!!! I'm envious you can get out.

Great for me as I’ll be heading to Cali on Monday.

Oh, the things people will do to avoid a 9:00 game!

 

[NYCCuse826]

I think technically 9:00 is the more coveted national spot but I hate it

9 is coveted by who?

 

[Cheriehoop]

9 is coveted by who?

TV viewers

TV viewers

7 PM is the primetime game, not 9.

 

[Cuse181]

9 is coveted by who?

It’s considered the prime time slot by the network

 

[zjscuse]

Think I might drive over and wait till the game starts and buy a ticket on the cheap

It’s why Duke often plays at 9.

Precisely

Every conference has 8 pm start times, so I don't really complain about those even if they are less than ideal for some. But once you get to 9 pm, that really is too late and not fan friendly when you consider not everyone lives in these college towns and has to drive some distance.

 

[Dave85]

I like watching this year's team. Brown is awesome! And Mintz is getting more confident. Edwards is playing really well. And I like watch Girard score when backing down near the paint. Of course, his 3s are awesome and needed.

It would be really nice to beat UNC. My father-in-law lives in North Carolina and pissing him off would make me happy.

Yep. 9pm east coast starts are dumb. People wonder why there are attendance issues all over the country. Here's a reason. Sometimes I feel like things are done to actively antagonize sports fans.

It’s done to capture west coast and Mtn time viewers. A 7 pm game is 4:00pm in cali, you’re not getting any viewers from those markets and even with a 8pm est start you’re likely not getting eyes on the TV on the west coast until halftime. Meanwhile it’s far easier for an east coast watcher to stay up and watch a game versus a west coach watcher forego a couple hours of work.

Attendance may suffer but TV contracts drive most the revenue anyway

Boss is taking us to a paint and sip thing tomorrow night. Not excited at all.

 

[dollarbill44]

Those 2 hours will cost us thousands of butts in the seats. Most fans from Rochester, Utica, Albany, Binghamton are probably out.

Stupid. We never used to have to play at 9 in the Big East.

I seem to remember 9:00 start times in the mid-80s for the Big East game of the week. I remember watching in my room with the lights out and the sound real low so my parents would think I was asleep.

Paint a rendition of the Dome court while watching on your phone. If your boss complains that you didn't paint the array of fruit/flowers on the table, just say, "That's what I see in front of me when I look at that arrangement. When SU is playing, everything I see is the Dome court. If you want to turn this into a sip and psychoanalysis, have at it!"

 

[Brooky03]

My kids go to bed between 7:30-8:00. I'm a big fan of the 9:00 start. Means I don't have to juggle the bath and bedtime routines while trying to catch bits of the first half. It does hurt game attendance, though.

Watch it on your phone while ruining your diet at In-N-Out

Is "Big East game of the week" code for Skinemax?

Just think...it will be a 6 PM game for you!!!!

Don’t look at the Ticketmaster map. 1,000’s of resale.
