Didn't watch a second of last week's game. And not because I had to go to a wedding or take my kid to ballgame or anything like that. Just was convinced there was literal no chance we would even be competitive so saw no point in watching it. Hasn't felt like that since Hazell. Not planning to watch our last games either. Fully convinced we will lose them by 30+.

I'm a Purdue graduate and fan from the Mollenkopf-era and so I watch them, as painful as it is. Unfortunately, they are now on TV where I can watch them, instead of having to listen to them on the radio. Before the change in radio announcers, I appreciated the games more because of the accurate commentary allowing me to "see" what was happening, or not, on the field, better than what I could see on TV. And I still fly my Purdue flag every football game day, although it's getting harder to do. Fortunately, I lived overseas for 23 years and could not follow Purdue football easily and so I missed some other bad times.

i watch it until i can't take any more of it, always have hope maybe team will play well and it will be a good game, when i realize that won't happen, i go do something else
That was my approach during the Hazell years. I've switched it up where I don't plan to watch games and if I happen to see on social media they hang in into the second half I might tune in. Unless the game is on Peacock in which case I don't get it anyway. But I don't make it any sort of priority anymore if I have better things going on.

I gave it a shot this past Saturday.

Despite Gus Johnson's caterwauling about "the world famous Buckeyes" and Joel Klatt talking about what a great football mind Walters (a college teammate) has, I fell asleep.

No I’m going to spend more time watching the women’s basketball team instead. :rolleyes:
