Many nights I'll travel over an hour to get to my games. I leave work about 4:30 to be available for GV 6:30 tip-off. Then we have a BV starting at 8:00. By the time game is over and travel back home it is about 11:00.

So for $80 (no mileage fee) I spend about 6 1/2 hours of my time and effort and always getting yelled at by coaches and fans for about $12.30 an hour. WOW. I must do it for the love of the game??????? Or am I just crazy????
When I did the GV/BV DHers in Tennessee back in 1995-1997 we got $60 and worked both games 2-person.

I'm spoiled. I like working my one game now. Start at 7:30PM and hopefully in the car showered and changed by 9PM.
