irishziggy Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I love when ND starts at 2:30 at home. I hate that extra hour. Washington's 8 oclock eastern start was dreadful esp with the World Series on (Go Phils). Thank God there was a rain delay and I got to watch the whole first half. But just wanted to say that I'm loving the 2:30 start this saturday esp since it's such a big game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishndfan2 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 i like it too, personally 3:30 is too much tailgating for me, we usually start like 8 am and that extra hour is a little too much for me, probably because i cant drink haha, but yeah i like the 2:30 game as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishwavend Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Is baseball really a sport that people still follow? In the fall it's all football... Baseball and basketball need to shorten their seasons. No reason to play for 3 out of the 4 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just realized that if the Rays force a game 7, there will be NHL, NBA, MLB College Football all on the same day - (during the NFL season) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the 230 start because it robs us of tailgaiting! Especially this time of year when the sun is struggling to come up at 830a. Personally I wish the games started at 5p. Put a Nascar race on before hand to kill time or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanyDomer Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I love it. I can finally watch a game that doesnt end at 1 a.m. Germany time. I usually fall asleep at church the next day and my wife kicks me in the leg to wake me up. I come away from these games banged up worse than some of the players.

Guest SirJohn Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 That's really funny Germany. I know the time zone differences as I have a sheet on all of all those zones. from when my daughter in the AF was in Iraq and I'd send her ND updates.

No reason to play for 3 out of the 4 seasons. agreed. baseball and basketball should either shorten their seasons or play from febuary untill august. i still don't understand why you need to play like 160 games in a baseball season.

Guest SirJohn Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I've said this before. My Dad would have one of the (3 channels) back then on a baseball game. Bored me to deatth, watching the spittintg, crotch adjusting delays. He would fall asleep in his chair so I would change channels to something else. Not minutes later he would wake and say put that game back on. Then fall asleep again so I would again attempt to turn the channel. Same thing. This would go on 4 - 5 times a b ball game.

DJonesIRISH Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 lol, I can't stand baseball either. The longer seasons really rob it of being interesting at all anyway. As for the 2:30 start I'm in AZ so that's a 11:30 start for me which means I've got to wake up with a foam-dome on in order to get in the proper mood for the games... I like the later start. It's like dragging Chistmas morning out rather than wake up and it's done you get be all excited all day long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All our fellow Domer's in Iraq will be watching it Sunday morning tape delayed on AFN. Hopefully I'll get to watch it online, if not its Sunday for me as well. I might have to fake sick and get out of Mass so I wont miss any of the action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texham Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Thank you both Dreamer and SJ. Kind of excited about this one. We're taking my mom to her first ND game for her 80th birthday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
