Maui Game Time Change Announced: A Total Snafu (and What I Learned)

Okay, so you know how much I love college sports? It's practically a religion in my house. And last week? Last week was a total disaster. My beloved Maui Islanders, they were supposed to have a HUGE game against the Hilo Hurricanes – a massive rivalry game, primetime, the whole shebang. I'd already bought tickets, booked a babysitter (bless her soul), and even planned out my celebratory post-game pizza.

The Announcement That Blew Up My Plans

Then, BAM! A game time change announced. Not just a minor tweak – we're talking a THREE-HOUR shift. From 7 PM to 10 PM. Seriously? Are you kidding me? My carefully orchestrated evening was ruined. The babysitter? She had another gig. My pizza plans? Well, let's just say cold pizza isn't exactly celebratory.

My Epic Fail: Underestimating the Power of Notifications

Where did I go wrong? I thought, naively, that I'd get an email or text alert about any changes. I mean, come on, we're talking about a major game. Turns out, I was relying on outdated information. I'd subscribed to their old email list, completely missing the announcement on their updated platforms. Talk about a rookie mistake. I felt like such a doofus.

What I learned (the hard way): Staying on Top of Game Schedules

This whole thing taught me a valuable lesson, maybe the most valuable one, and I’m sharing this with you because I don’t want anyone else to go through what I went through. Always double, even triple check game schedules.

1. Multiple Notification Methods: Don't Put All Your Eggs in One Basket

Don't just rely on email. Sign up for text alerts, follow the team on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram – the works!), and even check their official website regularly. Multiple channels are key. This is important because you never know where that crucial information is going to show up.

2. Use Official Sources Only. Avoid the rumor mill

So many people on social media were spreading misinformation about the game; some people were even saying the game was canceled altogether! Always refer to the official team website or app, and avoid unofficial channels unless you’re absolutely sure of the source.

3. Set Reminders!

This is a no-brainer, but I still messed this up. Once you have confirmed the game time, set multiple reminders on your phone or calendar. I mean, seriously. Set a reminder a week before, a day before, and even an hour before!

The Takeaway: Avoiding Future Game-Time Disasters

Look, I'm still a little salty about missing my primetime pizza, but hey, at least I learned something. I hope my epic fail saves you some heartache. Following these steps will help you avoid last minute surprises. This information is crucial to any college basketball game, but it works the same for all professional sports, too.

Remember, staying informed isn't just about convenience – it's about not missing out on the moments that matter. Especially when it comes to the Maui Islanders. Go Islanders!
