FUCK ESPN

Being outraged because the broadcast was uninterrupted, and could still be heard, is indeed dumb. Never thought I would be on team Illy, lol.

Wonder what people truly feel about the camera being on the sideline reporter for few seconds after a commercial and they don't get to see the ball being dribbled up the backcourt.

I don't know, I found it ridiculous that they'd split screen during the action of a close and late (and meaningful) game, for long blocks of time, to show pregame festivities at an upcoming game.

I'm not saying it was a good idea, or even really defending it. I'm just agreeing with Illy that getting outraged, or even a tiny bit upset about it, is equally ridiculous. Not one second of game action was missed, so what did it hurt?

Except that game action very much was missed if you were watching on a phone/tablet, or a bar, or even just your living room if you don't happen to have a very large TV.

"Not one second of game action was missed, so what did it hurt?"

I could barely see the action ( at a bar ).
You have effectively made our game take up only 25% of the screen.

That's a whole other can of worms for me.

I HATE it when we don't maximize screens. Whether on TV, or Jumbotrons at games, or whatever.

I bought a 70" tv to see shit spread out across 70", not on a box covering 25% of my screen space. With a bunch of other shit on the screen. That's true for all programming, but especially sports, and even worse when it's to make room for rat face's ugly mug.

To me, it's like ordering a steak medium rare and then it comes out well done. I'm paying for a product, I tuned in to watch the KU game, not a less than ideal version of it.

aside from the specificity of the puke festivities, why isn’t the split screen EVER used under normal circumstances where the early game runs long?

that’s my gripe more than anything specific to puke

that it would be pulled out specifically to fallate puke, k and their fans only adds insult to injury (and makes it all the more glorious that they lost)

On the other hand, I'm mildly surprised our game wasn't shuffled over to ESPN Classic or something at 5pm CT on the nose.

i was fully expecting that, especially once OT rolled around

They just did to Baylor what I thought they'd do to us.

It wasn't normal circumstances.

You sound jealous and petty.

the saddest part is that he’s already said he agrees that the coverage was over the top

Not saving the day. Just disagreeing with their outrage.

You're miserable and predictable.

It's like you're working at it. Hard. It's your job

illy is the guy on the online 5 PM Friday meeting who says he has some questions when the host is finished presenting.

Correct. The coverage was over the top. The duke ceremonies were over the top. All of it. But it was all understandable and predictable.

Totally different than being outraged or surprised by a split screen.

Like others have said, just be thankful they didn't switch our game to a different station because that wouldn't have surprised me....although THAT would have outraged me.

The split screen was fine imo. Lots of BWW Chad's tuning into see it and BWW Chad doesn't know ESPN usually shows whatever is being missed on espnnews or U or 2 when something runs long (which is basically every time).

get a life, dude

Figures that a non KU grad would think a split screen was fine.
