Can we talk about the commercials?

Was it just me or was there a significant increase in the # of commercials last night vs last year and even compared to the other games this weekend? There were several times that Fowler couldn't even finish his sentence before the commercials started. I think Chick-fil-A had a better time of possession than the LSU offense

you are so right. this would've been brought up sooner had the game not been so disastrous. we had to sit through 15 minutes of commercials before the game started. i bet those spots sold for plenty because the audience was captive.

Money bruh
College football has been making a shitload of money for a long time. But just like everything else lately, the people in charge of the decision making seem to want to run it in a way that makes them last people that will ever squeeze a dollar out of it.
They’ve gone past the logical breaking point and are now going to alienate all the people that made it a worthwhile investment in the first place.

If you're going to pay $16.9 million to 85 IQ defensive line coaches, that money has to come from somewhere.

New clock rules were supposed to speed up games but it was still 3.5 hours. Games are still just as long, but now the time saved by keeping the clock running after a 1st down is just used to squeeze in more commercials

Luckily this game was over in 2.5 hours.

It was the amount of womens Depends commercials that surprised me.

Shamelessly stolen from Reddit Comment
“ FINAL AD TIMER
Game kicked off at 7:45pm and ended at 11:08pm. So the game was 3 hours and 23 minutes.
Game presentation time: Right about 2 hours, 27 minutes.
Ad time: 131 ads for 55 minutes and 48 seconds.
Disclaimers: Clocks started at the moment of kickoff.
Once the traditional commericials end, I stopped the ad clock. So all of the bumpers where the show comes back from break saying "Tonight's game is brought to you by..." was counted as game presentation. So really, the ads were more than what I tallied.
Also, things like "The Camping World Game Track" or the "Aflac Trivia Question" wasn't counted as ad time, because it took place after the show returned from break. So again, the ads were much higher.
This was done with me having two phones both with the clock aps open. It wasn't exact, but within a few seconds.
Ads shown on the scorebug or on the sidelines weren't counted either. This was done to showcase the stoppages in the game.
Conclusions: Pretty awful. There's an entire hour of just nothing happening. It's why I don't think I'm going to attend any games in person this year. It's getting beyond ridiculous. This would've easily topped an hour had FSU not pulled away and teams were driving, using their timeouts.”
