SWX commercials

[grizondarez]

As a TV viewer of GRIZ games, the SWX commercials are hard to struggle through while awaiting the resumption of regulation play. One after another after another. Sometimes Providence "health break" commercials are repeated back to back. C'mon man! At the game you can move around, go to concessions, bathrooms, watch the Griz screen, visit, etc. during the looooong TV time outs, but at home you are pretty much stuck and captive by blah blah dorky local ads. SWX or the local networks need to cut down on the length and number of commercials. I hate 'em.

Commercial time is for food, beverages and pee breaks. Get yourself a Rocky mountain red hot dog or a Nalivkas pizza and relax man.

I would love a Nalivkas pizza. But I don't live in Havre anymore. As for the non-stop commercials, I just hit recall and switch to another game until Providence Health Break runs out of air time.

Try watching the Roku channel, anything in the Live section... Not only do you only get 4 commercials, they team that with horrible techno music... You get the Rich Eisen Show, Martha Stewart, an ad for their Movie "Weird Al", and the Roku lineup of stuff to watch that never changes... Did I say horrible techno music?

Try it... Everybody should subject themselves to that for an hour, no muting, and you won't even notice the Griz commercials anymore.

Kind of a good prep for the 15 or 20 year unchanging stadium experience.

When it ain't broke, don't fix it. Actually, beer at our seats is quite a change.

As an out-of-state fan, just being able to view a semi-professional video broadcast of the games on a consistent basis is a relatively recent phenomenon. There were many years where I didn't get the game at all, or I had to listen to the radio broadcast over the internet, or in the early years we got fantastic views of dome ceilings, the other team's band, and even sometimes got to see what was happening on the field. Commercials are the absolute least of my worries at this point.

Did you ever get some of the internet broadcasts of mtgriz.com? The link now takes you to GoGriz. I watched a bunch of games on that over a number of years.

Watching the Nebraska v Neon game, and Fox did the unthinkable.........interrupted a commercial for the game! Sacrilege! SWX wouldn't have the nuts to do that.

Wiser words have not been spoken.

I drove to Havre and back a Saturday last spring (400 miles RT) just for Nalivka’s. Best pizza in MT, hands down.

Also watching it. If they call Sanders “Coach Prime” one more time, I’ll throw a brick at the TV.

C-o-c-k-y, brash. Not much change since his playing days. The loss of several toes on one foot has taught him some humility. Walking the sidelines with the same limp my grandmother had.
