The production value of cst is bad enough. I'm not going to watch it when it's 45 minutes delayed of real time.

Hearing the unfunny heckling and convos of the crowd is something to behold though. Only on CST is it so prevalent.

I don't have CST but I was lucky enough to get a steam on the internet. It wasn't a big deal I just had to avoid coming here and seeing the live score. Only reason I don't like CST is because it's not offered to more providers.

I'm still wondering why CST kept an 8-2 Tulsa v Arkansas game on air when you have the most watched team in college baseball team coming on.

What I'm wondering though is why this matters. In my case, I just found something else to do while I was waiting for the game to come on. Wasn't that big of a deal.

Serious question: What are the negatives?
seriously?

a 45 minute tap delay of a live sporting event?

people tuned into CST at 7 to watch LSU not the end of a stupid softball game,by not showing it, you lose viewers

CST had exclusive broadcast rights to the game....and chose not to show it live.

LSU fans like watching baseball games

You probably arent nearly tapped in to technology as some of us. If a game comes on at work and i record it then that's one thing. But im not tapping out from my phone/texts/twitter/internet for 3 hours because CST was dumb enough to delay the game. I suppose i could have, but i chose not too.

I just said F it and followed the score in real time and watched the highlights. I wasn't overly pissed about it, but it does show how clueless CST is. Just thankful their footprint on LSU athletics has been reduced to a minimum.

I know. The question is why is this a bad thing?

Well I watched it on my computer and that freed up my phone for calls/texts/twitter/internet. Maybe I'm more tapped in than you think.

you cant really get texts/twitter/internet when you are watching a game that's tape delayed by 45 minutes.


The likelihood of seeing the score is around 95%. That's my scientific figure.
