The older I get, the more I hate staying up till Midnight OR LATER to watch a game. Don't get me started on the NCAA Championships being played on a MONDAY NIGHT??? If my team wins, I'm too hyped to go to bed (1985 MNF at Frisco) If they really tick me off, I cannot sleep (MNF at Tampa in 2000)
Saturday and Sunday afternoons are SOOOOO much better. You can cook out, have a few beers, enjoy the game and unwind after the game WITHOUT having to be at work in less than 5 hours!
NCAA Football and Basketball Championships SHOULD be a Saturday thing....around 6PM EST. THat would rival the Super Bowl. Sports Bars would make a killing, stores selling cookout / party supplies win. FUTURE fans, the kids, are not up 2-3 hours past bed time...EVERYONE wins!
