Countdown to Build Season!

it is SO close, and i am shaking all over. Build season is the best time of the year. Better than christmas because the presents are cooler, and better than new years cause you get to stay up later ;-)

so for anyone who, like me, looks at a clock every few second and recalculates the exact time till build season, i made a nice countdown timer. its an swf file, so i had to zip it first. you can see it at the team 422 webpage by going to http://www.team422.com

your teams webmaster should know how to put it on a website easily, and if you just want to view it at home, open it with your browser and it will work.

BUILD SEASON IS ALMOST HERE OMG!

but seriosuly, good luck to all the teams during build season, and let the countdown begin!

Re: Countdown to Build Season!

It looks ok, nice try; Also what time zone is it for? I think it's an hour off.

It's just a tad hard to read, the bright green font on the dark green / other colored background that is.

I made a countdown to kickoff that can be used with the Yahoo Widget Engine a few weeks ago... But I'm not sure where I put it.

Re: Countdown to Build Season!

Why sleep when you can anxiously stay up, pull an all-nighter? besides, this will help get you acclimated to no sleep, the caffeine, and nervousness.

I would spend all of winter break sleeping so I can go the next 6 weeks without it.

Or like sleep a month and stay awake for the rest of the year.

Israel gets their kickoff at 5 PM. I'd hate to have to wait that late in the day to find out the game.

Trust me, you'll learn that trick when you hit college finals... Starbucks!

I can't decide if I'm excited or not for build to start. So much fun, but so much time not spent studying! Oh well, easy classes this semester!

Six, actually. Count 'em: 7:00 AM start on kickoff (10:00 AM EST), and 12 midnight ship local. Easterners ship deadline is 9:00 PM our time. 3+3=6.
