Top Ten Excuses for leaving a record setting game early

[1972Shocker]

The couple next to us left early. They have two kids that are 8 or 9. It was 10 o'clock and a school night, fwiw.

My daughter left a couple minutes early with my 8-year old grandson due to the late hour. Me, my wife, my brother and my niece hung around until 3G left the court. I agree with @WstateU: that they should have made an announcement prior to the end of the game to stay around for some special announcements. Also I was disappointed they didn't make a formal presentation of the game ball to 3G. I would have liked to have seen Fred, Ron and Evan make that presentation. Maybe they will do something before the next home game although that becomes a little anticlimactic.

I see what you did there ... after it was too late.

I'm entitled to my opinion just as much as you are. I said nothing wrong or against anyone person.

If you are still sticking by the premise that those who stay to the end are diehards and those who leave early aren't, then yes, you said something wrong. You are entitled to wrong opinions. You are not entitled to keep those opinions free of scrutiny by others.

A simple, "You're right, I overgeneralized" would have sufficed.

What happened to the video shamming people for leaving that they used to play?

I thought about this when I saw the thread. I'll always remember the one with Cle. Don't leave Early.

The video stuff WSU does these days has fallen on hard, discombobulated times, save for the content produced by Intake Studios.

This did not happen, but it could have. 3G recognizes a Family of 4, friends of his leaving the game tonight early so he has them over for lunch the next day. Just in case he asks why they left early, the suspicious family decides to tell him they were told they had a flat tire awaiting them in the parking lot that needed fixed while they could before the rush of the crowd going home.

Now this didn't happen either but it could of.
Sure enough, 3G asks them at the luncheon and in unison, they all mention the flat tire

Now this did not happen either, but it could of. He calls each person in that Family into another room, one at a time, and asks each of them a simple question. Which tire was flat? Yikes!!!!!!! Busted!!! It's an old trick that gets to the truth of the matter when we have excuses.

The one that was flat on the bottom side.

I would imagine that the athletics department will take that ball and get it all decorated like they have for other milestone wins for Gregg. That will take a little bit of time to do. Also, the next home game is an ESPN game, so that's not actually a bad thing to do it at that time.

I thought the game ended at the after 12 time out in the second half when the band played "War". Wasn't it time for my victory cigar?
