No one believes me because it hasn't happened yet but I'm telling y'all that's what is coming if we fans don't start to draw a line and hopefully we'll start when it gets too much - just hope that won't be too late to reverse.

unfortunately yea we do believe you. We have an AD that is now legendary for squeezing adds on to the video board to the point anything game related is now postage stamp sized.

I think there is a turning point and I think it relys on fans like us not putting up with it getting any worse. We have a choice to show up for the game or watch it, and now with the SEC Network that choice is becoming easier for fans like me who already detest the inconvenience of traveling.

If we're going to all be making the premiere conference dollars from the new network, to me, it makes a lot more sense to start putting fan comfort ahead of squeezing out an extra couple of ad bucks here and there. By insuring each game is televised we are already competing with ourselves by providing the choice of watching in person or at home.

At some point the conference leadership will start to be as concerned about televising a half empty stadium as they are with getting the game on, maybe that will help reverse some of these poor decision about allowing more "piped in" music.
