I have more issues when games get moved from afternoon to night games than afternoon games getting moved earlier in the afternoon.
I'm guessing that's primarily because you have youngsters. Those without, or with older ones, me included, would rather see a 7pm game than a noon game all day long.
It doesn't matter - they aren't changing times because we complain. I just wish it would happen more than 10-12 days in advance. Didn't it used to be 20-21 days for these TV changes?
No, no youngsters.
I just expected most people have plans for a Saturday night already in the works and they'd be less likely to drive to Athens. I could be totally off-base with this assumption. I often assume other people live more exciting lives than I do. My wife and I are usually making risotto and listening to a podcast on a Saturday night. (Yes, we are a living 'Portlandia' skit, why do you ask?)
And that's what happens when I assume. My bad.
I guess we're a little different, but Saturday night's are about the only nights that either my wife & I, or when she works, my buddies and I, go out. The idea of going out on a weeknight is totally foreign to me now. So Saturday night/late afternoon games are ideal for me. I go to Athens before the game, indulge, go to the game, and get home late, and that's my night. And it's ideal to me.
