I went to the Florida-Michigan game last year here in Dallas.

Literally, after a kickoff we waited almost 10 minutes for the first play of the series to happen because of all the TV timeouts. I vowed never again to go to a live football game, especially one that is nationally televised.

Fellow lifelong Gator here, and I agree that the TV timeouts at games are nonsensical. At least when you're watching from home, you can leave your seat and go get food, go the the bathroom, etc. When I go to games at BHG, it is next to impossible to get out of the stands without a major effort; fans are packed way too tight on those bleachers.

Still .. there is NOTHING (except for pics of hot chicks) that would get me to watch soccer. As usual, the Lefties that run FIFA are killing any reason to watch their boring games.

Last year I returned to the stands for a major college football game for the first time in perhaps 20 years. Same experience. I couldn't believe how much downtime was involved with tv timeouts. It wasn't the same game I remember from my college days, when they went out and played with few interruptions. I found it unwatchable. Maybe Division 3 is better, since they're rarely televised.
