man they really messed us with the Thurday 9 pm start!

and lsu has a 10 pm start on saturday

 

[wheels002]

I was really hoping they were going to be Fri/Sat. This thurs/fri crap sucks.

 

[rumseyhouse77]

What is it with these late games? 9:00 at night start? Why? 10:00, that is crazy!

 

[wheels002]

all for TV

 

[biggunsbob]

It may be really cold also!!!

 

[Michlady]

yep TV rules

i think it is silly to have two eastern time zone teams play first game at 9 pm - they could at least do a west coast time zone - that would be 6 pm there

and we are only THursday start

as i said i think us and lsu are the two who have late first games

should see what ESPNU is showing before us - baseball?

This is not good. This team struggles in the cold. I hope Georgia will have a harder time dealing with the cold nights. I hope Hutch has had them practicing out in the cold nights to get ready. Do they still practice at this point in the season?

 

[wheels002]

Yeah Betsa's worst games can be attributed to cold and wind.

Well it's not showing much difference in temperature for today between 6 pm and 8 pm today and any other 2 hour period beforehand.

Whatever the temperature will be tomorrow, it's going to be the same for the Georgia girls as it will be for Michigan.

 

[Michlady]

not the temp I am worried about - it will be warmer tomorrow than it was today

to me the late time is the bigger issue
i am old

tickets went like hotcakes

I managed to get one of the few chairbacks left for tomorrow and reserved bleacher for Friday

by 8:50 am they were on SRO for Friday

Oh.

Well at least you won't have to worry about getting home in time to watch Letterman.

 

[Michlady]

i never was a letterman fan ... only watched once in a whle

and i don't think he changed or influenced late night tv

Well his show isn't on tomorrow night anyway.

Well, don't forget your shawl and cane. Or do you use one of those walkers at your advanced age?

 

[tinselwolverine]

They actually had a segment last night about jokes they would have made tonight if they were to have been on.

We're not missing much.

I'm watching the Tigers game in Detroit right now and the weather looks pretty decent; nobody looks like they're all bundled up or anything like that.

The forecast showing on my iPhone doesn't look like it's going to cool off that much for the Michigan game this evening; so hopefully the late start won't to a factor temperature wise.

And college kids usually stay up late also, so no biggie.

Thursday night for me at Michigan was always post Glee Club rehearsal drinking night, starting between 930 and 10 PM.

 

[Michlady]

65 right now, a littlle wind

Baseball is on BTN at 6 eastern, just before softball.
