'Tis why I don't work for "The Man". Worst case scenario is a client will call while I'm out cold and I'll call them back when I wake my ass up. That's why I hired a secretary!MgoBlue-LightSpecial wrote:You think you're going to have that college rockstar ability all your life, huh?I used to have relatively early Friday morning classes and would partake in Thirsty Thursday's, so I don't see what the problem here is.
I can't honestly say I get shitfaced to the point a full day of recovery is needed. It's just nice to lounge around, watch the games, and slam some beer knowing that alarm clock won't be going off at 6 A.M the next day.
I actually don't even drink on Sunday's. Maybe I'll have a beer or 2 at most. I can't drink much in the morning anyways, but I still tailgate. Sometimes at Iowa games, I'll get out there at 7:00 am if I'm up. Hardly ever drink before a game. Rarely did while I was in college even. After the game, I will. But I try and get out there to tailgate before the game but only eat whatever it is we brought for breakfast and drink caffeine. No booze. I'm just not a morning drinker. My last 2 years of college I lived about a 10 minute walk to Kinnick. I was always out drinking the night before and our games are almost always at 11:00, so I wouldn't even partake in pre-game tailgating most of the time. I would wake up at 10:00, hop in the shower, get dressed and walk to the stadium. I'd be there by 10:45 at the latest.
Now that I don't live in Iowa City, I can't do that. If we don't go up the night before, there is no pre-game tailgating for us. It's almost a 2 hour drive from Des Moines and with an 11:00 kickoff...........not gonna happen! I miss the old 1:00 kickoffs we would have back in the 1990's before all the games were on TV. Those were great. Could leave DSM at 8:00 and have plenty of time to tailgate before the game. Didn't even have to wake up too early for that even if we didn't go up to Eastern Iowa the night before. 2:30 games aren't too bad either, but we rarely have those. I absolutely love the new night games we occasionally have. I can sleep in, eat lunch, and then drive to Iowa City and have plenty of time to tailgate before the game. Plus, the atmosphere is fucking awesome at Kinnick at night.
