Same here. I'm leaving work early tomorrow to watch the game. The look my boss gave me when I told him I was leaving at 11:30 was priceless lol

Seems extreme for a game that will end in a tie.

Is it? Do you expect Germany to risk the number 1 sport or the US to risk not moving on?

Yes, on both accounts, for the first 60 min. Then if it's tied, no sense to play reckless.

No office time at BCSN, but for the office people, probably not. They only have a few tiny TVs in there, and it is on BCSN 100% of the time I've been in there.

I was kidding, Laley, as I've known Roni for a long time...however, I'm sure if JB would allow it, she'd be all over it!!!

It sounds fucking awesome. If you were given the same would you not go because of the chance it ends in a draw?!

yeah, I know. We've discussed it before. Just pointing out that their setup isn't like what Buckeyes setup is. They are mostly just an office, buckeye master control is where the TVs and satellites and such are located.

I would go, but leaving early and having a viewing party seems better fitted for a knockout game, not this one. That's all I was saying. If i were to leave work early it wouldn't be for a game that has a high likelihood of being an uncompetitive tie.

That sounds awesome Laley. I was either going to get food and watch it in our conference room at work or just go to Quaker Steak for about a 2 and a half hour lunch. Guessing I'll go to Quaker Steak and maybe have a drink or two while watching the game. Hopefully there is a decent crowd there watching the game but guessing not.

I was leaving work early anyways bc I'm heading to ohio. I'm just leaving 2 hours earlier instead to watch the game. So really it wasn't a big deal anyways

Oh and S&L, your obsession with me is starting to get a little on the creepy side.

Florence, Kentucky. I live closer to the Colerain location but work in Florence. I'm hoping it gets rowdy but it probably won't.

My only priority at work tomorrow is to not find out the score before I get home. It's going to be a long afternoon.
