I had zero emotional reaction to last night's game. Shows how far the caring has vanished. Can't imagine how I would have felt a few years back losing by 2 to the number 2 team in country on the road.
Does Anyone Else Just Not Really Watch the Games Anymore?

I tuned in for the second half. Unfortunately it’s to the part where I wasn’t surprised/didn’t care that we lost. I was in the Iowa State moment of wanting a win, even though long term I know losing and increasing the chance of Prohm being fired is what’s best for Iowa State at this point.
I feel dirty for buying a “Prohman Empire” shirt when he was hired.

Did you use any Chizik coins to buy the shirt?
Nope, I haven’t watched a game for two seasons now. And I’ve listened to game for 40 years on the radio, which I have done very little this season either.
Still watch at least a part of every game. I still look forward to game day, but if busy at tip-off won't drop everything to catch start of game.
Last night was a great effort, but by this time I'm pretty jaded that we can beat anybody other than TCU or K-State.
We held on to the lead a lot longer than I thought last night. After Baylor started off the 2nd half strong, I expected we would get beat by 20. But the players hung in there and guys made plays. But eventually a Zebra can't hide its stripes and hero ball took over. Too much one-on-one basketball.

That Florida A and M game on New Years Eve, I told myself that night it was an omen for how 2020 was gonna go. Holy crap, if I only knew...
I have tried, I really have, but this team is so frustrating to watch. They will play well for a while and then turn the ball over 4 or 5 times in a row, and give up 3 dunks. I know the guys are trying, but man, it is ugly stuff.
CF 2010-11: "It's okay, in the future you'll be able to decouple the programs you want from cable. The Big Ten will be screwed!"
CF 2020-21: "I'm not paying $5 for ESPN+!! Rabble!!!"

I mean if espn+ offered everything from espn it'd be a different story.
Its not like you can drop the cable subscription and just buy all the games straight from espn. So it's the worst of both worlds.
It also makes it nearly impossible to flip back and forth between other games at timeouts or halftime.
On a positive, I have watched much more of the women's team than ever before.
I think in about 2-3 years there will be an espn max that has reg channels with + channels. They make a ton of money from cable and dish, but that is slowly dieing.
I was living in Wi the yr that Lafester went off against Iowa, at the crest of a hill WHO came in I pulled over and listened to the rest of that glorious game. I wish I could have heard Pete and Eric but I was grateful to hear the game. Times certainly have changed when it comes to game accessibility.
When things turn around, let's make sure we remember this thread when calling out other fan bases for being Fairweather.
For reference, I still watch every game possible

You said it all my friend...The big 12 sold its soul to ESPN & ended up with most of their games on a Streaming Service.....How absolutely predictable....I have watched more Drake games on tv than ISU games...That says it all my friends....
I watch every one, every minute.
Must admit, it’s kind of tough. My wife thinks I am crazy.
