Disagree. The number of time zones one traverses is much more material than you allude to here. …and you have to adjust on both ends. It takes days…ideally a week…even for some of the young stud athletes…especially those who have never traveled like this before.
100% correct. I have traveled to the UK for work quite a few times and I usually feel worse trying to adjust when I'm there than when I get back home. Jet lag is a bitch, especially since I have a really hard time sleeping on planes.
Rutgers game works for me. My daughter lives a half an hour from there and I will crash at her place after the game. Still... your point is well taken and these Friday night games are just silly in my view and are nothing more than creations of the TV networks. My daughter's husband is from Jersey and is a big Rutgers fan and he was complaining to me that it is already super hard for Rutgers to get fans to show up on a Saturday and that they rarely fill their tiny stadium (holds around 52,000 I think) as it is. It will be even harder to convince fans to go to a game right after work. He said it is good though that it is against Nebraska since all of the Nebraskans who live in the I-95 corridor will come to the game and fill the place. I know we did last time... Rutgers fans are very nice, however, and took it in stride...
oh, okay. now I see why you just repeat the same thing over and over.
I’m now hearing that this game may not be televised live …. they are seeing if tape delay is an option
this is sadly what we've come to expect after joining the mickey mouse league that is the B1G (insert non-creative moronic 'you're in last place!' comment here)
called it!
So we go to a road game each season and the early starts are awesome, at the time...but what sucks is after the game, it just gets boring. So I totally get it, if I was you...the 11am time would be a turnoff because you know that come 3pm your day is sort of done.
Congrats on coming out, but I doubt the secret is going to make it to that game now.
wait.. what's this? I'm getting word that today's iowa baseball game (in the B1G tournament, no less) was, in fact, shown on BTN on tape delay.
C'mon now, NY/NJ Rutgers alums leave the office around 3:30-4:00 most days and definitely wrap things up earlier on Friday afternoon. If you're 9-5 hourly, I get it but 80% of their alums have plenty of room on the schedule to make a game. The real problem with Rutgers football is fan apathy.
Everyone is affected differently. I don't sleep on planes...at all...unless they bump me to first with a horizontal bed...which almost never happens.
Indeed. It HAS to be top of mind. I'd prefer to see a bye week after this game. Preparation will be stymied before and after this game given sleep management challenges. I'm a suck it up and 'git r done' guy, so I don't even like 'going there.' However, proper rest is important for optimal performance. North Dakota is set up nicely on this one.
General rule of thumb I've used is the number of time zones changed is about the number of days it takes to adjust.
