Gameplan for Late Night Kick

[JM4CY]

Alright, all you old farts like me. How you going to make it through the game Saturday?

 

[CloneFanInKC]

Set the recorder. Go to bed at usual time.
Get up around 5, check the score. The score will determine if I watch the recording.


EDIT:truth be told I struggled to watch the end of the KU game due to the time.

 

[Cyforce]

Working a 530-1730 shift Saturday. So it's going to be tough to stay awake past midnight but I can always finish watching in the morning.

 

[Clonehomer]

Going to hope for duds in the 2:30 games to get a good nap in.

I tend to catch most of those late games as it is so will try to power through.

If ISU does the 'let's spend 3 quarters flailing around and then enter cheat code mode for the last 15' mode I may have to avoid it.

 

[isucy86]

I expect a close game. The angst & paranoia will be enough to keep me wide awake.

Actually, I am more concerned about being able to fall asleep after the game. Especially if we lose. My mind will be spinning with what-ifs.

 

[SCNCY]

I said other as the kickoff time is 10:15 for me. So probably do light pregaming starting at 8-9, once dinner has time to settle. Then probably at half time, throw in a frozen pizza in the oven as a snack. Of course, keeping drinking so I fall right to sleep when the game is over.

 

[CycloneErik]

I get up early on Sundays. I'm planning to look up results when I wake up.

 

[Al_4_State]

Nap. Not sure exactly how I'll get it, as we're running up to the Twin Cities earlier in the day to get together with my nieces and nephew and then stopping in Rochester for an early dinner with friends on the way back. My wife prefers to drive due to her propensity for motion sickness, so there may be an opportunity in there for a car nap.

Realistically it will probably just be going to bed early Friday and then start boozing after I get the baby to sleep on Saturday night and see how long I make it.

 

[Cyclonepride]

I normally stay up until 12 or 12:30 on Saturday nights, but I also like to have about 3 beers in me at that point and get really freaking sleepy. Also, I never drink during games because I'm a nervous drinker and go through about 96 oz of water during a football game. That would not work well with beer.

So I have to decide if I'm going to have a couple beers after the game (staying up even later), or maybe if the game is in hand, maybe start around the 4th quarter, or just do my normal routine and watch it on Sunday. My main problem with that is that I have no willpower when it comes to checking scores.

 

[alarson]

Its a later kick for ISU, but i tend to watch pac 12 after dark most weeks anyway. Its not like we are playing at hawaii

 

[ClonesFTW]

I'm a very early riser so this is not ideal for our house; hoping I can sneak in a nap but if not we'll power through!

 

[Cfinnerty16]

Nap nap nap nap.

 

[cycloner29]

Man, I don’t know what I will do. Wife is gone at girl’s weekend. I woke up last Sunday morning with the worst hangover I’ve had in years!! Tailgating started at 11 am and we got home around 12:30 am the next day. Never should have said “let’s stop for one more.”

Saying that, and I don’t know will be doing yet.

 

[cowboycurtis]

Start power drinking at 4. Record game so I can rewatch it if I blackout.

 

[ScottyP]

Going to bed at normal time (9:30), check the score when I get up in the night to take care of the baby (usually around 2am).

 

[jbhtexas]

1. Drink a big glass of water before I go to bed at my normal time
2. Check the score when I get up for the 3:00 AM pee

 

[Marcelason78]

My other vote is—Sleep in the next day.

 

[CoachHines3]

the kid will goto bed about 730 so ill probably dose off from 8-9 just in time for our game to start and ill power through till the end somehow.

 

[Bigman38]

Lot of responsible answers. I'm just going to mix some red bull and booze.
