Its too bad Tuesday night's game is 9 pm

[Cuse_NYC]

Any projection on the attendance?

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.

Means I don't have to feel guilty about being on the game thread while the kids watch the game in the same room.

9 is nice for TV. Sucks when wanting to make the hour 45 minute drive during the week to get to the dome. Well more so for coming back at least.

The students said they are showing up. (Or, at least two student posters on here said that. I hope it translates to reality!)

We need the crowd if we are going to beat Carolina.

I can relate to the two hour ride, but I’ll grab some caffeine for the ride home. It’s a huge game and fan support is so important. This could potentially be a season turning game.

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

Haha, no. This was before cable TV in Fairfax County. WTTG, channel 5, which was a local channel back then (pre-Fox). It was actually really good.

There was a pseudo-cable movie channel called SuperTV, though. It was over the air via a scramble. Channel 50 late night Saturdays, it showed porn. And it froze just enough, frequently enough for this 13 year old.

Early day of work the next morning makes it the challenge not so much the late drive.. as does it being a weekday game. In line with the OP.. game like this at the dome benefits UNC vs it being on a friday/Saturday etc.

It helps when you’re retired. I feel your pain. If we win, Adrenalin can get you through the next day, but when it wears off you’re dead tired.

As long as it’s less than 6 OTs I’m good.

The UNC kids won't even get be wheels up until about 1 am, so lucky to get to their beds by 4 am. They'll miss their classes on Wednesday due to fatigue!

Meh- their 19-23 year olds... nothing to it. Those were the days.

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

[Almost] Makes up for the 9am Saturday morning starts for me in San Diego/Mexico

Last time we played UNC in the Dome I told some fat, obnoxious UNC fan that she was both fat and obnoxious and nobody around got mad at me so she must have really been fat and obnoxious

Finally, a game at a reasonable hour!

 

[kirbivore]

It’s why Duke often plays at 9.

Not a problem for fans since their rinky dink joint has less than 10K seating.

I'll commit to this... if Joe agrees to shave the moss off his chin (and keep it off for at least a week), I'll make flight accommodations to come up for a game this year. Book it-
