Can the green lights stay on all game?

ESPN to USF:  Well, you can have your green lights all game long ... or you can be televised.

 

I would argue that we would be better off right now being less televised. There was a reason the nfl used to block local coverage until a sellout.

As a fan in Raleigh, it would suck to have to use the "Gamecast" to see what's going on... so I'd rather they be on TV than not. 

If ESPN could block "local" then it would be interesting to see what would happen.

That was to try to force ticket sales. For us, nobody cares so while I like the idea of trying to force more butts in seats, I think you need to show them something on TV first to entice them back in person. Outside of die-hards, who's buying USF tickets anymore?

I suppose I’m just looking at it from my perspective and assuming there are more people like me. I invented reasons I couldn’t go because I could watch it on tv and if we lose, which has been all too often, it feels better the less you put into it ( conversely winning feels better the more effort you put into it)

if we act like it is something we want, the TSA will surely put an end to it.

so true leave it to the establishment to throw a wet towel on it

So pleasing to read!!  Glad those there were able to enjoy the night!! It has to be an event, an experience. Starts with winning then all these other things multiply on it.

The new light show is very cool and done just at the right times.  Also EVERYONE gets behind the new hamster video - us oldies, young kids and all those in between.  It really was a fun night!

 

That little rat doing Freddie Mercury and the Green Lights between 3rd and 4th were some of the things I've missed not staying until the end of games. Have to say that rat but a huge smile on my face the entire time it was playing.

I liked hearing the out of her mind girl that was screaming "a lot" during the game. She obviously was having a great time or maybe, green lights cause her to go off....but, it was good to hear the crowd get into the game. Wish the camera guy would have showed the students more, I think it would be good so they can see themselves on the screen maybe even cause more to come?? Of course, student sections have been a little "expressive" lately maybe espn is getting gun shy. Ha!

It was like being in a 1960s movie.
