There’s a game on November 17 at ELEVEN p.m.! It’s a home game at the FedExForum vs. UMass, and it’s undoubtedly scheduled at that hour because it will be televised on ESPN. Who’s going to be awake at that hour to attend the game? Glad to see Memphis getting national TV exposure, but I hate to see an empty Memphis arena on TV.
Since I’ve extended my hiatus from job-hunting until December 1, there’s no doubt I’ll still be up at game time, and as a bonus, right around halftime the clock will strike 12 and it will be my birthday. Hmmm… November 17 is a Monday night… where can I watch a basketball game on TV at 11 PM… ideally I’d like to sip a Dos Equis Lager while watching… but I don’t want to pay more than $2.75 a beer… and it’d be nice to have other stuff to look at besides the TV… waitresses in short skirts for example. Maybe I’ll figure out where to find a place like that before game time. Or who knows, maybe I’ll actually go to the game and make the arena look one person more full.
I feel even more sorry for UMass fans, who will have to stay up until midnight their time before the game even starts.
