If the clock isn't stopping as often, doesn't that leave less room for ads?

Fifty Three posted:If the clock isn't stopping as often, doesn't that leave less room for ads? From Big TV's standpoint I think it leaves more room for ads in between games and gets rid of that pesky 5 hour game that you've sold all of your ads for already so you just have to sit through it. They'll go hard with the 30 second ads I'd assume if a game goes long. But if you can cut long games out halftime and postgame shows just seem like free ad time someone has paid for. *note that I am not an insider and have no idea how this actually works, that just seems to be how it works to me. The less football on TV, the more time for a few minutes of talking heads and more ads to play.

Kind of already touched on, but college football's problems aren't game clock stoppages. It's how long it takes for replay reviews and all the loving media timeouts (often these two are combined!) It's ruining the live game experience too because there's so much down time.

The end stage of this is we implement everything they do in soccer that's stupid but at least keeps games from stopping for commercials but still have two hours worth of loving Applebee's commercials per game. Let's just slap a big old Piggly Wiggly logo on the Bama helmets and get it over with. They already do this in the NBA and the sponsors are mostly low rent podcast level advertisers. I think 3/4 of them are Crypto companies. Spacemonkey57 fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Feb 20, 2023 |

If they made the games short enough that they could move start times up then the changes would definitely be worth it. Since I’m not watching the between game shows anyway, I’m still eager for them to speed up the game. College games take way too loving long.

They're unfortunately the opposite of low rent (for most teams) which is why they're crypto, because it basically requires a business model where user/sucker acquisition is the primary goal of massive advertising blitz. Them being kind of low rent was actually the initial pitch to try and make fans accept them (the idea being they would be mom and pop conglomerates generally based in the city the team plays, pretty much only true for Fed Ex and the Grizzlies). But it sort of turns out it doesn't matter if fans accept it or not.

Just do the challenge system and limit it to two per team, with no automatic reviews for turnovers, scoring plays, or anything else. Eliminate automatic review for targeting, and also eliminate targeting.

I'd love them to adopt what rugby does. No ads during the game. However during downtime in the game they shrink the screen by maybe 25% or so and fill the area around it with ads. Could easily do that at things like change of possession, 30 sec timeouts, or reviews. Keep advertisers relatively happy and keep the game moving. Halftime is a ton of ads, but I'm fine with that honestly. I wish I could find a screen cap of what I'm talking about, but I can't figure out what to search for. And I know that this is contraversal to say, but if uniform ads eliminated broadcast ads that's a trade I'm willing to make. Of course that's not how it works, but if it was? I think I'd be ok. So long as it wasn't full Nascar or lower lever European hockey bad. Honeslty after having the kid the fact that rugby is over in under 2 hrs, and the international leagues are small makes the game so easy to follow. European start times aren't bad either since hey I'm up by 7 on weekends anyway. drunk leprechaun fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Feb 21, 2023 |

Getting rid of the "incomplete stops the clock" thing is like...that's a fundamental part of the game. You might as well make a fifth down or 12 yards for a first.

It's looking for a solution to something that isn't broken. TV and commercials make the game longer. Same as in baseball. They don't want to give up lucrative ad revenue, so they look for other artificial ways to shorten the games. And while yes, some pitchers took a ridiculously long time between pitches, that was not the biggest driver in game length. I'm not opposed to eliminating back to back timeouts, but how often does that really happen. Also not opposed to going to NFL first down clock rules, but I do enjoy the little changes like that that distinguish between the two. I absolutely do not like the incomplete pass change. That would completely change the game, especially the end game.

I do feel like back to back timeouts happens a surprising amount at the end of the 1st half. You have coaches doing really stupid poo poo and you have them icing kickers 2 times in a row and other such things.

Leach stories If people want I can post more for those without Athletic subs quote:Falk: We’re playing Oregon my senior year. We’re up by like 17. I’m checking runs and short, quick-game passes at the end, trying to run the clock out. We end up kicking a field goal with two minutes left to really seal the deal. I go to the sideline and he was so displeased with me that I wasn’t being aggressive and trying to score a touchdown. He was like: “What are you, just uh, uh, uh, a career bunter?” quote:James Whalen, Kentucky receiver: I made a mistake (in a game). He came up to me and was getting after me pretty good. I said something to the effect of, “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” He looked at me and his eyes got big and, boy, he got pissed. And he said: “If we were in Rome, I’d feed you to the f—— lions.”

Leach stories, part 2Steve Spurrier Jr posted:When we were at Oklahoma, he had a plastic bag with two slices of bread in it. Every day, he brought two slices of bread. I watched him one day. He got a piece of bread and balled it up. One whole slice of bread and just balled it as tight as he could. I can’t quite figure out what he’s doing. Is he going fishing? He’s just sitting there for a couple minutes squeezing it. Then he took the ball and he put it in his mouth and swallowed it whole. So I asked him. He said: “Well, my wife said because I drink so much coffee and it’s not good for my stomach that I need to eat two slices of bread a day — and I hate bread. So I ball it up and swallow it up.” Hal Mumme posted:We make this big trip to Florida in 1991. On the way back, we’re driving along and I looked at him. “I think I might be able to get the job at The Citadel. How would you like that?” He looks at me and goes, “I don’t want to play soldier.” … He said, “If I was going to play something, I just want to play a pirate.” He goes into this long oration about how you could have a school where everybody dressed like pirates. You could have cannon practice and swing-your-sword practice.
