Most people are like that id say. I watched the tape delay, but dont blame anyone who didnt. Its a midweek game that didnt end until after 11 on a weekday if you watched.

I had no idea there were people like this.



Like what?

I got a text with the score in it, there was a groupme conversation going on with some friends at the game, TD obviously had the score, and twitter had it as well.

It wouldnt kill me to put the phone down. Luckily I'm not really attached to it. But for a measly midweek game there is really no point in watching it on delay. Better things to do.

If I was watching on TV, I would have watched it delayed just so I could skip the commercials. This is actually my normal SOP. I almost never watch TV live but with a stream I don't have a choice.

The broadcast started 30 minutes late then they showed about a 10 minute pregame with all the commercials. So yeah it was about 40 minutes.

Last night our LSU-UL baseball game had a twenty minute delayed start on CST due to another live event running long. Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconveniences this may have caused you. We value our relationships with both LSU and ULL and their fans and can assure you that we will have better contingency plans in place for future events that will keep this from happening again. We will re-air the LSU-ULL game again Thursday at noon. Our next live LSU baseball game will be May 12 when the Tigers take on UNO in New Orleans. You can catch UL baseball again on CST April 8 against Southern. Our apologies again for the delay on last night’s game.

Regards,

ESPN will never show a game tape delayed if the game before it lasts too long. So wtf are you talking about?

ESPN has multiple alternate channels that they can show a game on if something goes long. That is the new world of tv sports coverage. ESPN has ESPNNews, two SEC alternate channels, and when those are full, there's always WatchESPN.

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.


This is what I did. Once I saw the game was going to be shown on taped delay, I just found something else to watch and followed the game on my phone.

if it's not that important, I just can't understand why people are upset about it. It doesn't look like you guys would be watching it anyway. You'd be discussing it on here, twitter and group texts
