But I have to say that the most infuriating thing was when they'd cut away from a live game to show some pre-recorded show about some historical military stuff with 4 minutes left in the game (could have been 15-30 minutes more TV time) to not delay or miss any of that show...

It was hardest when it was a game that was very close and before the Internet and you'd have to hope you could pick up a paper on Sunday morning that "might" include the final score/boxscore of BYU being "out West" while you were living "out East"
