[NU Sports] Basketball

[mlinhardt at netzero.net]

Radio, TV or in person?

Most Cubs fans I know listen the cubs game while doing something else.  In other words it is just background noise.  There full attention is not on the baseball.

We go to a couple of Cubs games a year and I am fidgety as there is so much downtime.  This does not happen with football.  I am constantly involved even during timeouts.

As I age(mid 30s) and as I manage my time more(endurance athlete) I find that I am even less patient with slow moving things, which baseball is a prime example.

Please explain the way you experience baseball and maybe I can learn to appreciate it more.

P.S.  Baseball is not boring.  It is fun and exciting both to play and to
watch.  Unless you play right field in a park and rec league in elementary
school or in t-ball.  Then it sometimes can be boring.

The Alamodome is a crappy football stadium.  I can't image how bad it would
be for basketball viewing.

I did not get into the tournament at all, although I followed the runs of
Wisconsin and MSU.  As far as I can tell the Big Ten performed exactly as
seeded with MSU's extra win making up for Indiana's loss.

We follow a little hockey(Red Wings), but beyond that the spring game and
the summer scrimmage are the only sports until fall.  

Baseball is boooooring, although I will continue to follow Joe's progress.
