Don't feel bad--I wouldn't have gotten it either if I hadn't seen it in another thread. If you're telling time and the time were 9 to 6 (9 minutes until 6:00), you could say it as 5:51.
ETA: I think the phrase should actually be "9 'til 6" but no one really enunciates the "'til" and it just sort of becomes "to" instead.

You do realize if you have to explain a joke, then it's not really funny. 5:51 is five-fifty-one to normal folks, not nine to six.

Christ. I guess I have to speak fricking ignorant coon-arse to get this.
9 'TIL 6 makes no fricking sense when comparing it to a score. Pretty dumb IMO. Unless some of you say 9 to 6 when telling time, which wouldn't surprise me.

I never say like 12 to 3 or anything. I'll say 2:48 or quarter to 3.

While true if you couldnt figure it out it kinda makes you look a little dumb as well. I mean it's pretty easy to get.

9 to 6 however there is a backstory.
In 1982 God himself(Bear Bryant) lost to LSU by a score of 20 to 10.
One night a couple of months later he was turning a little water into wine, and getting kinda rowdy. He asked his wife what time it was and she told him 20 to 10 or 9:40. The bear ascended into hell (arrested) for battery before rising into lore as the greatest coach of all time.
He was fired shortly after and passed away about a year later.
No, disrespect to God intended, only Gumps.

Well, it's not so much that it's odd numbers it's mistaking the abbreviation of the word until ('til) for the word "to."
This pisses me off as much as the thousands on here that use "are" and "or" interchangeably.

I didn't really try too hard to get it. I was trying to look for significance in kickoff time or game time something like that. I never thought people actually mistake 'til for to. Christ.

Says the guy that made this dumbass thread. How ironic.

I dont think anyone is making the mistake. They are taking liberties with the language to make the joke work.

Or "then" and "than".

It's an abbreviated version of 9-6 even though it's longer.
