CFP Championship Game: #8 Ohio State vs #7 Notre Dame -- 1/20/2025 (Atlanta) -- 7:30 PM [ESPN]

You got that commercial crap right. Literally RUINS the TV watching experience, and when I am in attendance at games, I hate how all the "breaks" can ruin a teams momentum, while the Ozempic commercials explain, at least 10 times a game, how your life will be perfect once you consume their product.

 

You're not wrong, and I'm clearly in the minority, but watching teams of people that don't represent anything I have a vested interest in isn't for me. I just can't muster interest in watching some random dudes represent a town in Europe I can't find on a map in a soccer match, or a bunch of random dudes play in a stadium in Jacksonville because that's where they're contractually obligated to play.

Anyways, I maintain a passing interest in UF athletics mostly because the university was a big part of my life for like 30 years. The professional athletes don't represent the university anymore than a guy who works at that little gas station at the corner of 13th and University for a couple years does. If this stuff interests you I'm happy for you. At least some people are gaining something.
