I am going to go out on a limb and say you don't have kids.

Finding a babysitter on short notice for an 8:30pm start on a week night is not easy. Just sayin.....

Not yet

I realize it's tough, I was just trying to be one of "those" fans that frequent around here every once in a while...

Coming from someone who always struggles finding sitters I can tell you it ain't easy. MOST babysitters are like late junior high or early high school aged. They more than likely are not going to be able to babysit very late on a week night.

The wife and I have been able to find quite a few older babysitters (late teens, early 20s) that work at our kid's daycare. They are also hard to get on weeknights because a lot of them go to night classes or are wiped out from chasing rug rats around all day.

I still don't get it, you can't go to the game because you can't get a babysitter? What is the thing with not just bringing them along?

What channel is the game on?

And I'm sorry, but I get up at 4:45 every day. I won't be going and honestly I'll probably miss a lot of the second half. I just hope we don't go to playing a lot of 8:00 games in the future during the regular season like Iowa did. I probably wouldn't even get season tickets then.

ESPN2

And by the way, it is hard to find a babysitter for a late night on a weekday! Oh, I also wish that I had a job that I could just call in sick to so that I could go to a late night game!!!

Sorry, just frustrated that I have to work during the game and can't see it in person...

My 2 year old comes with us to games.
A cranky year old is much worse than a 2 month old, not even close.
I know several people that will not be there tonight because of an 8:30 start on a school night for their children. Think what you will about that, but its reality.
