I have a seminar from 3:30-6:00 tomorrow night and the game is on at 5:00 here out west. My inclination is to leave class early to get home in time to see the game, but I am stubbornly superstitious and do not feel as though this would be a good omen. At the same time, I will not be focusing on anything going on in class because I will be nervous thinking about the game. Furthermore, the class itself is generally pointless. It is a readings seminar in 20th century U.S. history, but most classes devlove into a confounding and one-sided discussion on neo-conservatism.

What would you do?

I'm missing two classes to go to the game, so go for it.

Game is on at 4PM out here. I'm leaving work early.

I'm missing my 2:30 class so I can leave at 3.

Hell yes Matt- leave early. We are a fast start team (think Wisky) and you don't want to miss it. How about the Falcon roar when Omar takes the field? You know the 3rd quarter is not the fun quarter for the Falcons!

Tell them you have things to do and you'll stop back at halftime....

Wow, you kind of remind me of my first year of graduate school. Thinking that class shouldn't be skipped and all. My advice take off early.

I'm taking off so early that in fact, I'm not even going to work tomorrow. I should be running some sort of experiment and preparing for my one on one with my mentor to evalute my progress on friday, but I'm not. I'm going to stand in the rain and drink beer, before standing in rain to watch the game.

You should go to class. I endorse skipping class to go to the actual game, but not to watch on TV. Must draw a line somewhere, even if it's completely arbitrary.

How about the Falcon roar when Omar takes the field?

Unfortunately, that will probably be drowned out by Craig James mouthing off like an idiot during the irrelevant pre-game babble.

i would say if it is not going to potentially hurt grade status then skip, but if you have even one question about the imact skiping out will have then dont skip

Its up to you. How is your grade in the class determined by? If he uses information in lectures on exams I would not miss the class. Game is on ESPN so you should have no problem recording it.

You know exactly what I would do.

yeah, what most others have said. if you think it won't affect you anyway then go for it!
i was going to skip my business law class at 2:30, but then realized we had an exam in it.. opps! so i'm taking the exam as fast as i can without rushing, then heading out! hopefullly by 3

You guys all suck - I have to work til 9. I can't even call off because I have two trainees.

Bad omen? No way. I knocked off a liquor store the morning we beat Purdue, so it might just be good luck to skip class!
