Butch Calls out A State fans and Students...

[bbhstiger5]

Fans who understand the game enjoy analysis between plays.

People who don't grasp the nuances see the game like former Russian leader Leonard Brezhnev did 4 or 5 decades ago, "All fall down, all get up."

I think part of knowing the game and going to the game started in high school for many. The transition to attending in college was seamless.

Now even when people are at the game they arent watching the game or discussing the game.

Some would even have fans not discuss the game as it happens here on RP.

Yea agreed. There is just a big gap between the fanatic / aficionado type and the casual fan. Even Rugby is faster-moving. Just one of those things.

. . . if everyone who attends the games would pay another $1,000 for the season, that would generate about $15,000,000 . . . with that additional money, there would need to be no advertising sponsors and so all of the TV timeouts would go away . . . as for the reviews, if you really don't like the advancements to the game, maybe sports is not your proper entertainment vehicle . . .

Or if every student takes out an additional 5k student loan which will be wiped away anyhow and donates that, that would be $100 million

Yea, TV timeouts + reviews are hurting the in-game experience for sure. Maybe when the glutenous 2 (SEC/B1G) finally peel away and fully sell their souls to TV money, whatever still governs (NCAA) the rest of college football can implement some rules to eliminate some of the momentum killers (TV timeouts/unlimited reviews) that are hurting attendance/in-game experience.

TV time outs are not going away….

TV time outs are not going away….

. . . that is only because the school/fans are not willing to pay for production costs which is paid for by advertising . . . if that changed, then there would be no need for TV timeouts . . .

TV timeouts have been around a long time. Fewer in number then, but here a long time.

No one liked them but fans endured and it didn't make games boring, so they kept adding to them.

Review tuneouts are the feather that broke the patience clock.

For long time we were not in this constant face pace world of wanting instant gratification and instant information. People’s attention spans are very short now because of these damn phones!
People can waste hours playing on a phone, but can’t take a 2 minute live in game commercial break without getting disinterested.

I was in attendance actual number probably closer to 8k.

. . . one would think that those in the complaintant mode could just play on their phones for a couple of minutes waiting for the game to start up again . . .

How do they get away with reporting 15K? Did they really sell 15K tickets and just reporting tickets sold ?
