3-0 KSU heading to 3rd. First two innings complete in 45m
Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but there comes a time when I've simply had enough and I quit watching. And I don't mean just that particular game, but the whole damned sport. The NBA went away over 10 years ago. MLB went in 2019. I tried watching again in 2020, but BLM. Screw 'em.I felt exactly the same. BUT, when I shared the same feeling about excess advertising to one of the "officials" there, they said, "Well, Brog, where do you think the money is coming from to put this show on?" I mentioned that I had paid a good bit for a ticket to get in, and he laughed and said ticket income wouldn't nearly pay for the event.
I may stop watching a sport if the rigging tilts too far...but not at all due to signs in the stadium. Stuff ain't free...and getting to watch my team with a sign in the background rather than a padded wall is hardly intrusive.Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but there comes a time when I've simply had enough and I quit watching.

Yes, the advertisers pay a lot to stick their logos on everything. Evidently they believe it is effective. The Pro Sports people are happy to sell them the space. I was shocked, however, to see how much the advertising had intruded on the game in two years of careful indifference. For my part, I will never, under any circumstances, purchase products from a number of companies mainly based on the annoyance level of their advertising.
GeicoI used to like the early Caveman ads....
But did you buy for a shower make-over from West Shore Homes?Maybe so and yet I’ve determined to never use Germania insurance, buy anything from Academy, and rent vehicles from any agency not named National. Figuring I’d be contributing to the problem. If I knew what a Globe Life was I’d probably watch from home with TV on mute. Some advertising is okay but this level is visual assault
Maybe about four years ago…but not so much now.Sell some space to Victoria's Secret.
They both had caveman ads. I can't remember which one stole from the other.Geico
I'd be very happy to cut down on all this commercialism, lower the ticket prices, and subsequently half the ridiculous salaries many make in this industry (including players, D1 P5 football and basketball coaches, admins, and the owner's "nonexistent" profits)Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but there comes a time when I've simply had enough and I quit watching.

The first game it was full force like he had eight double shots of expresso.Agree it’s less miserable than yesterday. But he’s still awful.
That’s the game that convinced me to come up here early. Should regret that decision but don’t. I do think it will be funny to hear how my father reacts to him if he does TCU v UT. I’d say near 90% odds he switches to the SEC tourney within 1.5 innings. But he may do that anyway since he really doesn’t enjoy Frogball philosophy.The first game it was full force like he had eight double shots of expresso.
