TV Update-

I thought I better let you guys on the Eastern side of the country know, that there was a NASCARP race that ran over about 20 minutes...
They are going to show the Catfish Classic in it's entirety...
SO THE DRAGS WILL NOT START ON TIME!!

Re: TV Update-

If you want to see something ridiculous, just watch how much money they win in one event...

I can take exactly eight steps out my back door and win $500,000 in 15 minutes... I kid you not!!

Never saw a nascarp race, or the catfish classic, BUT, did watch a fairly interesting BUSH race, and as far as the BASSMASTERS CLASSIC goes, would be willing to bet that a lot more viewers watched it than watched the nhra race. This is going to happen all year so may as well get used to it.

I was gunna say the same thing..I was watching last night (and getting aggrivated) that Bassmasters was on and going overtime. I figured NHRA would get screwed but they let it go over by just as much (15 minutes I believe). I guess it's something we'll have to get use to this year (as every year past)...

Re: TV Update-

Never in my wildest did I think the drags would get delayed by fish.
Holy cArp. A new low. Just reminds me where my place is.
Did you see that one guy sponsored by advance auto parts that sped thru the parked boats?! LOL!!!! What was he thinking? ROFLMAO!

I'm sorry we don't get those channels that run BUSH races... I would probably really enjoy that...
The BUSCH race that I saw part of, was put on by NASCRASH... No other reason to waste 2-5 hours of a good day... And I will agree with you about more people watching Bass fishing, rather then NHRA... Took my sisters car on a quick 80 mile trip at 4 in the morning and saw at least 40 bass boats heading to the delta in the dark...
It's all about what makes your boat float... So to speak...

Re: TV Update-

Didn't ESPN buy BASS? I seem to recall seeing that they did. So, no wonder they would be pushing these shows a little. But, I could be wrong, too.

Re: TV Update-

I've seen it delayed by womens beach volleyball, why not bass fishing? or hotdog eating? sport is what you make of it, I think thats how the comercial goes. I dont like it but we have complained for years and it hasn't changed.

Just wait till we get pre-empted by the National Spelling Bee (Is that REALLY considered a "sport"?)

Re: TV Update-

As someone who enjoys fishing myself, I have never understood the appeal of making a competitive sport of bass fishing. And to actually watch a bass tournament on television is even less appealing. But to each their own. BassMasters obviously gets good ratings or it wouldn't be on television. I guess I should just be grateful that NHRA qualifying was shown in its' entirety.

Maybe Cruz should have went with the Evinrude tuneup this weekend...that boat was running better than his FC.
