Yeah at halftime. Wasn't going to turn back on til 4th Q but someone here told me Tua was in. I didn't believe it, so I turned it back on. Here we are.

Yes, my bad luck seems to rub off on my teams. Example, I didn't watch the Saints game because of my bad luck . Well I watched one play . Guess what play it was.

I’m an LSU fan. It’s becoming more routine that I have to walk away from the tv.

There was a time when I wouldn't and it paid off with a lot of amazing comebacks. Nowadays, it's punishment if we're playing bad and I keep watching. Sometimes I never even turn it on.

I don't mind losing if we're playing well, but I don't even like to watch us win while playing bad.

I tried during first half of 2010 Iron Bowl. Went in the other room and turned on the E channel to ensure nothing related to the game would come up. That lasted less than 5 minutes. Prob partly due to Ryan Seacrest being less tolerable than the beatdown Auburn was experiencing at the time.

Also left early for 2012 A&M and UGA games as a student. Couldn’t support the lack of effort trash we trotted on the field each week.

If I'm at home and we're playing Mercer, I'm not going to watch the whole game. If we're up by 30 against just about anyone I'll do something else if I can find something better.

If we're losing by 20 in the 2nd half in basketball, I'll turn the channel. I'll turn back if we pull within 10.

I don’t recall shutting a TV off for a game. I reckon you have to take an arse whooping like a man. That way he victories in later years are that much sweeter.

I have left a game early to avoid traffic. And it’s much easier to do when you know your team is going to lose. The worst one I left early for was La Tech circa 98. I knew we were toast and halftime and we bounced.

I don’t turn it off when Alabama is losing (because that means it’s usually a pretty big game / matchup) but I stop watching the Alabama cupcake blowouts all the time if there is a better /bigger game on.

I have one time and one time only.

2013 vs. Auburn. Thing is, I flipped it back to the game just in time to see the final pass.

Taught me a lesson.

Not gonna lie, I switched the channel over to the Bachelor for a bit when Jalen was struggling. But technically, I did not turn it off.

Not LSU games. But as soon as Diggs caught the pass against the Saints and started running, I turned the tv off.

I turn it off a lot. It seems by taking one for the team, sometimes they make a comeback. Almost worked for the saints. Worked against Auburn

Sure. I quit watching the 2012 iron bowl and went to the beach late first quarter. Quit watching AU vs Atm mid 3rd in 2012.

Got in the car and left where I was during the last couple of minutes of AU vs LSU this year and same for the mulligan game in Atl this year. Listened to the end of both on the radio while driving, but quit watching.

I had to turn off the SECCG after halftime. I knew we had no game plan with KJ.
