Game Times with West Coast

Donate To GopherHole



3:30 am start on Sunday for me this week. I won't be staying up to watch, and will watch the whole game when I return.

I’m in the minority but with two young kids night games are great. They are in bed, I can do a full normal weekend day with them (zoo, parks, ???) and guilt free watch the game and focus. Sunday AM a little early but a cold brew fixes that usually

Same feeling. I'm a night owl, so I think it's great. Plus with the bye next week, I get two full Saturdays to do stupid stuff I don't really want to do.
 



I'm mostly a night owl too. I used to chill down after Gopher wins with broadcasts of the PAC10/12 games after dark. Either arriving home from the game or if it was on the road watching college football all day - I always had some more college football viewing in me. I still enjoy west coast games with a night cap now that we have some west coast teams in the B1G. Occasionally I even fall asleep and get to be surprised when I wake up in the second half to find Team B has stormed back to take the lead on Team A. Its relaxing to me on a weekend evening.

So the only game time that affects me really is the 11:00 AM starts at home. I know some people like that but I hate those AM starts. It totally shrinks up the tailgate despite having to get up so early and the stadium atmosphere always feels a bit more subdued than it is with afternoon or evening kickoffs.

The other monkey wrench for me is a Gopher loss. I usually don't feel like watching other games if the Gophers have lost. I'll even turn to a Saturday night movie sometimes if the Gophers have lost, depending how much I need to take my mind off of it.

Wait until you get old like me. You'll probably feel the opposite about early versus late games....lol
 


I have to get up at 3am and get to work Sunday morning, so I will probably only see the 1st quarter if I even make it that long.

Will there be a re-broadcast or a 60min version on the B1G network since the game is on ESPN?
 



Going to get worse as to the west coast as we will play other big 10 teams out there. They should be forced to start those games somewhere between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
