Official Black out thread.

[bucpimpin]

since the game will likely be blacked out Sunday barring a miracle or Glazers doing us a solid and buying up the remaining tickets. Looks like we have to watch online.

Can someone PM me a link to a site or 2?

Thanks!

Blacked out for you son. I'm getting off my ass and heading to RJ.

I don't think you can post a link to an illegal streaming site on this board. They could get in trouble but not sure.

Official?

Flying in to see the game, and to celebrate Ronde!  Go Bucs

The Bucs are in trouble if they don't buy up those extra tickets. Most of the average fans have already left and another season of blackouts is a recipe for disaster.   It is hard for a community to embrace a team they know nothing about.

You may want to buy a ticket...

I was hoping the title was referring to Quincy....

then the community needs to get off its ass and go see them.

Went to the Pate preseason game.. I am sorry.. Watching on TV or internet is 100x better imo. Just my opinion.

It isn't that simple.  You need to step out of the fanatic's eyes and see another viewpoint.  There are many reasons why people aren't going to the games.  Some don't like going to the games but love football.  The Bucs alone are the reason for their declining ticket sales. You can blame it on whatever you want but had the owners given their all the fans would be in the seats.  People don't buy things without doing research anymore. Especially investments that cost thousands of dollars and you only take a good time home with you..  Should I pay the charter captain $600 for a day of fishing or buy a surround sound receiver that will rock the house for 6 years?

Right on.. I have 3 young kids 5, 2 and 6 mos.. Stepping out to a football game isn't feasible.. And I am not referring to cost. We have a much better time home with the BBQ  than at the games.

And from that situation comes merchandise. Hats and shirts for the kids etc.  That is where they are losing out. The ticket revenue is probably peanuts compared to the tv and merchandising revenue.
