Could the networks be any more greedy with the amount of commercials they shove in our faces during college football games? They need to figure out a better way to advertise and cover the game at the same time. It’s become painful to wait and watch 5 or 6 or 7 commercials after something as simple as a punt. Between our boring offense and a thousand commercials our gameday experience in the garage man cave has gone from super fun family time to “did we punt again?” and “when is the game gonna come back on?” Show the coaches coach during timeouts, show the cheerleaders and the atmosphere, show us what is going on and play the #### game! Nobody watches TV anymore so the greedy ### execs decided to hold sports fans hostage to their commercials because we are the only viewership that’s not going to change the channel. Call your local representative people because this waste of our time needs to change! Are you with me?! Man we suck this year ??

I agree 100%! And I have 7 or 8 channels programmed that are all games and I can't tell you how many times today that I scrolled through all of them and they all were in commercial breaks or maybe 1 out of 7 actually had game and they often rolled into commercial.

They are constantly trying to shorten the game but yet they are adding non-stop commercials.

And what's even worse, they have now stopped showing some kickoffs in the middle of the game. The commercials run so long then ppl forget there was a kickoff, then they come back to a first down

Haha. Saw this post and had to share. Like yourself the commercials finally got to me. I have a very busy schedule, so in a effort of trying to get everything in, I rely on the DVR. It’s not un common for me to start watching a game about 20-30 minutes behind the start time. I usually catch up by the beginning of the fourth qtr. Not anymore. Can’t skip those commercials. That said, I literally put together a 18 rail, second floor bannister yesterday during commercial breaks in the 2 and 3rd qtr. 12 minutes of the 4th qtr was cutting and installing trim qtr round. I really did not miss any plays. I thought it was just HULU inserting commercials and was going to start shopping for a new service on Monday. That said, it Sounds like it’s just the norm now.

Can’t say my Boys $#%€. Will not do that. But agree that we need a lot more practice. They say Defense wins championships, I learned that from a progressive commercial this weekend. But you still have to score. If the guys want to win the ACC, they are going to have to put more work in. No coaches. Not just film study. I think this has to be DJ with his online, and receivers, and running backs, running 100s of snaps in between scheduled practices and class. I see so much hesitation out there right now at every position. It’s squandering the athletic advantage the team has, and also the mental mojo we use to have.

I believe in these Tigers. I believe they are capable and can get it together! Just have to keep at it.
