Meh.
Was hoping for a prime-time slot on Thur or Friday.

Dylan always has that news first. UM Hoops/ Dylan on top of his game/ per usual.
I used to be mad about lunch starts.
But, WFH is the truth.
Well, you can't drink all St. Paddy's day if you don't start early. Go Blue!
Fuck it. I’m taking Thursday and Friday afternoons off. Love the first two days of the madness!!
Cripes! No time settling into the 4day weekend and best sports weekend of the year! Pressure is on immediately!
ARRRGH WHY?
Welp, that's going to overlap three of my classes with obsessive fans as students in all three.
The 10-day says 88% chance of rain...so no golf-gives me something to do.
Rams jump up to get beat down!!
Will plan accordingly and stay home that day. Thanks for the heads up.
Awesome. Can’t wait. Thanks for the information
Looks like Thursday is a great day to “”work”” from home
I've got a rock concert on Wed night so I guess an extremely spicy bloody mary will be on the menu for Thur morning
March 13th, 2022 at 11:28 PM ^
lulz what is this "rock concert" you type of?!
Yes!
And it is supposed to be close to 70 degrees!!
Happy with this over another freaking 10pm time slot on a work night. We got those two tourneys in a row for week 1 matchups prior to last year.
Either way I’m happy. Taking Friday off for the tourney, and love that I get to take that whole day’s worth of games in, stress-free.
March 13th, 2022 at 11:40 PM ^
Yeah I don't miss those late Thursday night snoozefests vs Montana
Good end it quick
Damn this sucks. Will have to take the iPad to work and try and figure out a way to watch.
I should be landing in Denver just in time. I’ll likely have to watch at the airport bar but whatever.
March 13th, 2022 at 10:05 PM ^
Hopefully we give csu more than just the tip...
March 13th, 2022 at 10:12 PM ^
I will be in a meeting at the beginning of this game, probably for half of the first half at least.
I'll find a way. I typically do in these situations.
March 14th, 2022 at 12:18 AM ^
You just say, "Mr. President, I'm sorry. I don't care if you want me at the White House or the outhouse. You're just fucking going to have to wait. It's Michigan basketball."

Bout to flex that FMLA paternity leave to the fullest

I just moved to California and am trying to orient my East Coast brain around game times. I work in a pretty easygoing office, should be able to stream it. Go Blue!
March 14th, 2022 at 12:31 AM ^
I've been on west coast for a while. It's pretty simple. You pour beer in your corn flakes and turn on the TV. Generally, the game will be about to start.
March 13th, 2022 at 10:24 PM ^
Dang, I have a 10:45 tee time on Thursday. Game will be over before I get off the course.
Go Blue 🏀🏀🏀
Beat dem rams!!!!!
March 13th, 2022 at 11:04 PM ^
March 13th, 2022 at 11:12 PM ^
That’s rough man, I thought I had it bad!
March 13th, 2022 at 10:33 PM ^
Nice to be (recently) retired. Can watch what I want when I want!
GO BLUE!
March 13th, 2022 at 10:36 PM ^
Congrats tybert!!!
Enjoy your retirement 👍
March 13th, 2022 at 11:04 PM ^
Just cleared my work calendar. I am "tentative" from noon to 2:30. In other words, don't bother me.
March 13th, 2022 at 11:18 PM ^
Works for me:
a) Retired
b) 9:15 start in Tucson, the town that time forgot
too early to go to the magic kingdom, but I’ll get by.
March 13th, 2022 at 11:19 PM ^
Getting what is effectively a home game as 11 seed is great and as an added bonus, the tip is at 10AM MST for CSU. I was expecting us to start at like 9PM per the usual.
March 13th, 2022 at 11:26 PM ^
LFG!!!
March 13th, 2022 at 11:31 PM ^
A better time for viewing and might get a body clock benefit for the Wolverines.
March 13th, 2022 at 11:49 PM ^
In my 1 undergrad year at Wyoming, I pretty quickly figured out who the main rivalry was - and it's the CSU Rams just across the border in Fort Collins. I was there when Wyoming was in the top 25 in football & the bball team beat top-10 Utah with Keith Van Horn. Good sports year.
Both Wyoming & CSU benefit from the altitude (Laramie @ a whopping 2k feet above Denver), so typically enjoy some sort of home-court advantage when employing a running style. In Indy we should have a more "level" playing field, but I would still expect CSU to be in better condition for a running game. Just offering this nugget without doing any research into this year's CSU team. But an undersized team will typically run more.

It'll be fun watching Ohio State and MSU get bounced in the first round. Don't screw with Sister Jean.
March 14th, 2022 at 12:30 AM ^
I agree on OSU, but I have difficulty seeing MSU losing the Foster Loyer Bowl. They'll definitely get up for it, and Davidson looked pretty unimpressive today.
March 14th, 2022 at 12:34 AM ^
There is always hope. Hopefully the MSU players will have nightmares about Middle Tennessee all week.
Always love a "nooner" and on St. Patty's Day, no less. Just gonna pretend I went to Ashley's at 7a, and all the hours blend together in a hazy, joyful blur.
Thanks for the reminder of the time zone difference! (an hour earlier as advertised but in Central Time) That reminds me of M's opener in Indy a few years ago, also on St. Pat's Day and in the afternoon. A victory against Brad Underwood and his Ok State friends!
Welp I'll be streaming from the office again. Let's hope the game goes better than what I witnessed last Thursday.
It is the day before spring break at the school where I teach. We are having an incentive day for kids. The activity I am in charge of is "movie room." Guess what "movie" they will be watching at 12:15?
March 14th, 2022 at 12:08 PM ^
Hopefully how to shoot a three pointer and pound the paint over and over
Busy work day on Thursday. Bummer.
Perfect start of the tourney, as my friends and I get together yearly for opening weekend. (Although if the game goes poorly, the disappointment drinking will make surviving to the last round of games may be questionable...)
