Me too. If I'm going to be an alternate, it better be contracted and paid for.

We target 6:30 for 7:30 varsity games. Frequently we arrive between 6:15 and 6:30. We usually watch the third quarter of the JV game and then get dressed. Although I liked last night -- we went to the locker room at halftime, had a nice pregame, and didn't bother coming back out until we were needed for warmups.

Be early enough so that if you're late, you're on time.

This almost sounds like a Yogi Berra quote.

So you always make your partner work the first period by himself? Remind me never to work a varsity game with you.

It was funnier the first time. The way that this is supposed to work is someone posts a "straight" line, then, someone, usually Mark Padgett, posts a funny "comeback" line, and everybody gets a little chuckle. By editing your original post, the "comeback" line isn't funny anymore. With 1,797 posts, you should know this by now. It's not rocket science, or brain surgery.

While I like you, you aren't Padgett, even though you sure seem to be trying to be.

Just my opinion, though. Don't take offense.

Kind of like Phil, the show killer on Dan Patrick.

When there's no JV game in front (holiday tournaments, playoffs), frequently there is nobody really at the school ready for us or spectators before 30-45 minutes before the game. We'll pregame in the car or quickly while we're dressing in those circumstances since by state rules we must take the floor at 20:00.
