Advantage of living on East Coast

I just realized that while I miss almost every BYU basketball and football game AND almost every Jazz game, I have one advantage. Games start at 10 pm consistently meaning work is done, kids are in bed, wife is happy that I did the dishes, swept, and even read scriptures.

So in about 2 hours (after I do all of this), I get to head down to the basement and take in a full live Jazz-Clippers game 5.

Who else has this advantage? Who else agrees?

Do most people start work at 8AM?

8am would be a late start for most people I know. Work starts earlier. Brings up

Indeed there is. Generally East gets less sleep. Prob due to work-life balance

Where are you? I used to cover NY, NJ and other NE states. In my mind in NY and

In my experience, East Coast people get up early, but start working around 9

You may have a point on the commuting angle

Best part of moving back West was better sports watching.

I didn’t know how bad game start times sucked until I moved west from the east coast. Glad you can make lemonade from

My 20 yo self agrees. My mid forties self - no way. DVR it and watch in the AM

Man up, I am 50 and usually go to bed past 11 pm and I am usually up at 5-5:30.

6/17/21 8:27am

Not worth it. 10PM kickoff means it ends around 2 AM

The best part of living in the East is there aren’t any Utes.

You’d stay up that late to watch the Jazz?

I lived on the east coast 1 year. I’ll never understand how people can stay up

BLUEGRENADE

I hate it. Stayed up until 2am to watch us lose.

Metallicat

and BYU seems to historically lose most of those late games that end at 2 am ET

It was actually just past 1 am (unless you watched the after game interviews)

DCCougFan

I was too frustrated to fall asleep right when the game was over.
