Not that I was able to watch it but common sense would say this is just PR for the fans to feel close to the team for those who chose se to attend not for tv ratings!! I got my updates on Twitter.. sounded pretty good for a fan practice!

I get that but if you are gonna televise it you need to do a better job.

Same deal as last year. You would think a professionally run team would have a better setup and plan for how these things are run and shown on tv. 

Same thing with the coverage at Back Together at Wofford. Quit watching after about 10 minutes

They just opened a Bojangles here in San Antonio for the first time and it’s a goddamn tragedy. They don’t even sell chicken. Just Supremes. And the don’t have Cajun pintos or mashed potatoes. And they want 54 dollars for 20 freaking Supremes. Absolutely shameful. 

I was waiting to finally see this.  Bojangles got acquired by a private equity firm a few years ago and their CEO recently said something about "wanting to get out of the chicken business" and "into the experience business".  I had read an article somewhere that they were going to start opening restaurants without bone-in chicken.  So there we go.

It's so stupid.  Bojangles had a simple formula: you go into some dingy dimly lit restaurant with wood paneling everywhere and you sit at a rickety table and eat greasy fried chicken and biscuits and drink sweet tea and then you go home and irradiate your toilet.  I guess there aren't enough business press buzzwords that can be affixed to that so somebody had to go fug it up.

I mean if you want to irradiate your toilet just go to KFC. Buy some chicken and MD: Sweet Lightning. 
I swear Sweet Lightning glows.

It would be nice to finally find some diamond in the rough pass rushers.

This production is terrible. How many times are they going to say Bryce made a great throw and then not show it. 

I stopped watching midway through. The interviews that I don't give a poo about, and the lack of consistently following the actual plays was too much. Catering to the casual fan way too much.

I’m aware not everyone is able to attend in person but fan fest is and always has been an in-person experience.

It’s also a pretty boring couple hours altogether so I can only imagine the torture of trying to stream it.

I will say last night was one of the better run and more exciting ones I’ve ever attended. Weather was perfect and the fireworks show at the end was top notch.

I turned it on for about 5 minutes.  It was pointless to televise that.   Just put the interviews online.  A zoomed in view of the QB and then the announcers having to tell you everything that happened off screen is just dumb.

They did that after the 2015 season. Fireworks are always the best.

 

You should come to a Durham Bulls game on a Friday or Saturday if you love fireworks. It's legit 15-20 minutes long of ridiculous fireworks.

Well we got some damn dawgs in the secondary so its not that surprising that our rookie QB isnt exactly slicing and dicing them right now.  Its good that Bryce gets to go up against them everyday though.
