Post Game

I am curious how many of you leave the gym and do one of the following:

A - Go have a beverage with your crew

B - Drive home

C - Meet up with other officials at a watering hole

D - None of the above, feel free to elaborate

The game is only the prelude to A or C.

A, B, and C. Depends upon who I'm working with and what night of the week.

Mostly B. (A 4:15 wake-up call for work necessitates it for me).

But, Friday's our Association sponsors a gathering at a local watering hole, so, if convenient to my game, C.

Junior and I usually have dinner and the "old man" buys, LOL!

MTD, Sr.


P.S. Come to think of it every time I have breakfast, lunch, or dinner with either of my sons the "old man" buys, .

B.

I'll exchange any necessary war stories with fellow officials on the phone during the ride.

I always do B. A or C may occasionally be a prelude.

Nearly always B, with C a couple times a season. Maybe. We don't really have set crews here, esp at subvarsity level, so A is pretty much reserved for Friday nights in football.

I like to "D" (shower) before "B". "B" always comes after "D", and sometimes "A" and/or "C" come before "B".

We rarely have set crews in these parts. So, generally it's just B for me. Plus, if I'm don't early enough, I can get home to snuggle with my little one before she goes to sleep. And, I'm not much of a drinker at all anymore so the beverages don't interest me unless it's Coke zero


I wish I had a cool signature

We head for the doors most nights. Two or three times a season we'll stop for a couple of beers and apps at an Applebees (or similar fine cuisine establishment). I'd rather sit on my couch with my SO and drink a beer and eat pizza or take-out after a long week of teaching and reffing though. Maybe that will change after we've been married for a few years, but for now it works.

Depends on...

Who I am working with?

What night of the week it is?

Where I am compared to home?

What time we get done?

What level I am working?
(still have a split schedule, 99% of the time I stay and watch the Varsity Crew)
