This idea was brought up in the GW Game thread, and I agree its a great idea. Since the game is airing on tape delay in the Philadelphia area, but live on the internet, and in other areas, we're going to do do 2 game threads. The one that's up now, I've added LIVE THREAD to indicate we will be following the game on that thread in real time. So starting at 7:00PM, if you want to wait, and not "spoil" the game, I'd suggest avoiding that thread.
Then, for the Tape Delay crowd, I'm going to create a separate thread so folks can follow the game together there as if it were being played live. In order to totally separate the two, I'm going to put that one in the "Other Discussion" part of the board. The reason for this is because between 9 and 11ish, the people who watched the game live will probably be creating new threads that could give away the ending to the game if you happen to see the thread title. So if you're trying to watch the game at 9:00, I'd suggest just avoiding the main part of the board altogether from 7PM until the tape delay broadcast is finished.
If you plan on watching the Tape Delay, but want to follow along live, by all means do so. The extra thread is for people who want to watch that broadcast without knowing anything in advance.
If you watch/listen/ follow the game live, I STRONGLY urge you to avoid posting ANYTHING in the Tape delay thread. Even stuff like "Wait until you see what happens just before halftime" is giving something away, and even if you don't do that, you could give something away by your tone. So just please, if you know the results, don't post in that thread.
Lastly, once the Tape delay broadcast ends, please move all postgame discussion back in to the live thread within a few minutes, so we can have one discussion going.
I'm not sure how much market there is for the "Tape Delay" Thread, but if even 2 people want to avoid results and do a game thread on the delay, I think this is worth it for them.
Thoughts?
