Never too early College Basketball Prep Guide

Plan on Killing Grandma

Starting usually in November, ESPN starts to broadcasting college basketball games all day long. Hooray college basketball fans, boo the productive members of our society. If you have a real, full, or any kind of job that will prevent you from participating in these festivities, though, this spells doom for you — and really, shame on you for attempting to be a productive member of our species anyways.

Every college basketball die-hard knows you need to plan these kind of events in advance. Hopefully you were smart enough to save up some vacation days, instead of wasting them on taking your significant other to the Olive Garden (you classy devil). If you did save up those days, though, you’re in super-swell shape. Just put in those vacation days to your boss and make sure you note the reason “College basketball glutton”. He will understand and certainly sign off on your paid time off.

Used up all your vacation days? No problem there either. Guess who just died for the 12th time this year? Yup, grandma! The best go to excuse in the book. A close enough family member that you get time offm but not so close that co-workers will feel the need to attend the fictional death of your Gram Gram.

If all of that fails, or you have a soul, you just need to quit. If you’re reading this, it likely means you’re not that successful anyway (I mean, who in their right mind reads the ramblings of a man wearing a yellow shirt with the number 4 on the back. Don’t ask). I’m not trying to be a jerk but the chances of your current occupation being your career is not that high.

I quit a job when I was in my early 20’s so I could follow the World Cup. I mean, just look at me now! I am your favorite college basketball writer or something.
