Message: [QUOTE="Travelman6, post: 3139178, member: 7597"] My wife is from Colombia so football (soccer) is the main sport for her. Basketball is catching on amongst some of the youth in Colombia, especially some of the wealthier kids and I think she COULD get into it but she does not like the constant commercial breaks, especially towards the end-game. The Ttech/Virginia game was fun for her to watch but she said the commercial breaks eventually killed the momentum for her. I see where she is coming from as she is used to 45 minutes of non stop play-20 minute half-45 minutes of non stop play. The 20 minutes is usually to cook something, order out or make a beer run. I agree with her and truly wish basketball would cut down on the breaks by at least half, that would make the games flow better and put more emphasis on rotation strategy and using the bench as well as conditioning and endurance which is what sports are about when you get right down to it. A lot of football matches have solved the lack of commercial time with having occasional adverts pop up at the proper moments (the proper moment being a time that does not interrupt something major going on). I can look for an example of anyone is interested. So yah, she does not mind it. If there was a huge Uconn game I am sure she would like it. When she saw me watching the Uconn/Iowa game and the logos appeared, she asked if I was cheering for the "cute dogs". Yes. I am cheering for the Huskies. "Well, I hope the cute Huskies win"...haha. But it is hard for me to get pumped for some ECU/Uconn game or something so there is no way I would expect her to care in that case. [/QUOTE]
