Late Games
- Thread starter KyFaninNC
- Start date
Way fewer late games this year than in the past. In general it’s because we bring dedicated viewers that will tune in whatever time they play us.

...and the game before ours goes to OT.
Gotta make sure to get my lunchtime nap at work. Pull the blinds at work and hope I don't snore! [winking]
Those late games are rough for the “glass 8/10ths empty” crowd when we lose. They are forced to complain into the wee hours.
This. I've always found it funny that people in the Eastern time zone think everything should be scheduled around them.
Which means you have to stay up later to complain about them complaining.
My work from home day is Wednesday, and while not the only reason, Tuesday night games did play a role.
Some of you must be old if you consider 8 PM to be late.
IT Systems Engineer. Most tech jobs these days allow some portion of Work From Home. A lot of our developers are actually permanent WFH.
It's great, but not perfect.. I'm never as productive at home.. too many distractions, and I don't mean stuff like TV or video games.. I find myself spending a few hours to take care of personal ****.. the lawn, laundry, etc.
I do a lot of after hours work so it evens out.
I am VERY OLD and consider 9pm late.
I also consider 4:30am "everyday getting up" time.
So I eat Lunch for Breakfast and Breakfast for that night's Supper.

I do analytical work. The company I work for is still stuck in a 1970s mindset. IF I can't see you, you aren't working.
TBH, I probably wouldn't like it either as a manager or CEO. I'm convinced that 90% of people are not as productive. And I know a good chunk spend half their days not working. Being in IT, we can see log on states, support tickets, etc.. and yeah, a lot of WFH people slack off.
That said, you can't go back. I'll never work for a company that doesn't allow at least one day. Organizations that don't adopt this will start to have staffing problems.
DVR is a sports-lovers dream. I’ll watch the first half tonight and the 2nd half in the morning, not knowing what happened, and minus the commercials.
Ratings. Probably won't get near as good of ratings for the early game no matter who is in it. A lot of people probably aren't watching much TV from 4-6 (the other time zones). So they probably prefer to maximize ratings by having a team like Kentucky as the late game to get the people watching from 6-8 as well as the ones watching at 9. It sucks for the folks that get up early in the Eastern Time Zone though.

You can drive to a central time zone and see it an hour earlier!
While you complain about the other person complaining. Makes a lot of sense.
So now you consider a question as a complaint? Don’t take much to rile you, does it, boy?
Doesn’t really bother me, I live so far back in the sticks it’s still yesterday here.
My work schedule switched so now Im at work late, so I get to listen to Tom call the games during weekdays. But, it means these 9pm games no longer piss me off. I had quit staying up for them, was getting up at 4am. Now I go in at into 4pm, so 7...9...hell 11....come on with it [laughing]
