Anyone else just not watching our games anymore?

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.

No I’m going to spend more time watching the women’s basketball team instead. :rolleyes:
 
If I’ve got something else to do I’m absolutely going to do that. It’s not even entertaining in the slightest. Want to watch your team fail to get off the field on 3rd and 17? You know where to find it on Saturdays!

We have no shot vs these top 5-10 teams outside of an act of god. When it’s a team we could beat m just waiting for the coaches to screw it up or the kids to go soft mentally and blow it themselves.

Not much redeeming about this team.
 
I haven't watched much this year. For a lot of reasons: other priorities in my life, no confidence in improvement, dislike for the changing landscape of major college athletics. All of those things; not just the mounting losses.

I was underwhelmed by the Walters hire but willing to give him a chance. Honestly, I could probably still get behind him if he can show progress. But, I just don't think he's the guy for this job, at least not at this point in his career.
 
Didn't watch any of the last game although I did follow along quite a bit on gametracker. Oregon game was the last game I watched in full. Not planning on watching Saturdays game either. Just can't justify 3.5 hours on the sofa watching an ass beating.
 
I’ve even stopped watching the highlights from the recording, it’s just sad
What highlights? When there are none, I also quit watching. There should be a lowlights, dropped passes for a large gain, failure to stop the opponent on third down with 15+ yards to go, missed field goals, screwing up receiving kickoffs and punts, the list goes on and on. I guess now a highlight is what would be considered by other teams a normal average play.
 
sounds like a cover for CIA, but glad you have come in from the cold.
That's the extreme heat in Saudi Arabia. Where I lived (Dhahran) had the world's highest dew point, 108F. Nothing like being out windsurfing on an over 100F day and sailing into a fog bank! The first year I lived there my thermometer hit 100F every day from late February to the beginning of October. I always laugh when someone in the US says how hot it is, as I doubt they know what real hot weather is, 120+F, or what 100% or near humidity is like for a month (August) with the temperature over 100F. That was the month to take vacation if you could.

I haven’t missed a game in probably 20 years and not gonna start now. I may not remember watching the end of all those games but for damn sure I’m watching.

Haven't watched all year... I check the scores to see if we will ever turn any kind of corner but that's just simply not going to be the case with Walters in charge...

I quit watching after the Oregon shutout. This team is BORING.
 
I stopped after oregon state showed how incompetent the staff was. Can't imagine many people are still watching.

I'm anxious about walters not getting let go of by now. To be honest I was actually optimistic after the week 1 showing but the wheels came off after week 3 (game 2). No rebound from it and we have been circling the drain.
