"You can observe a lot by watching"
Sounds like something Yogi would say. Do we call this a bob-ism?

My college coach said it even simpler: If you're on time, you're late.
And he proved it after one particularly irksome loss out of town. Somehow I was one of just two players to make it to his van the next morning a little ahead of time for the four-hour ride home. He, an assistant and we two players occupied his eight-person van. We got home well before the other van -- with 12 other players and two coaches crammed in it -- did. |

Vince Lombardi used a saying sumthin' like that (mad rush by the young un's to Google Vince Lombardi).

Dan Lauria, the dad in "The Wonder Years", is playing Lombardi on Broadway.

This is somewhat travel related. I had a JV/V boys night tonight about 40 miles from home. I get ready to leave in time to pick one partner up so we would be there about 45 minutes before tip off. I go to put my bag in the trunk, but my keyless entry remote won't open the trunk, so I have to use the key. I get in to start the car.....nothing. I realize that I had left the parking lights on for a few hours and the battery was drained. Luckily my neighbor across the street was home and he gave me a jump. We still got there 35 minutes before the start, but I was about to have a heart attack when I turned the key and heard absolutely nothing.

Paraphrasing: (trying to remember what I read in Jerry Kramer's book about 40 years ago) The Lombardi clock is twenty minutes ahead of the real clock. If you're twenty minutes early, you're on time. If you're ten minutes early, you're the last one there. If you're on time, you're late.

Learned it in my early military days too.....
"Lombardi time" is the principle that one should arrive 10–15 minutes early, or else be considered late.

My Alma matter compensated for that by starting classes 10 after the hour.

I used to live in the Chicago area, and remember without fondness 90 min drives to HS games.
Now that I live in South New Jersey, where we get almost no snow and most games are 30 min away, no more complaints from me!! Roy |

Especially if I have never been to a school before, I give myself a half hour of 'getting lost time'. It takes the pressure off.
