Things wrong with this program

Down 3. 12 seconds left. Mr excitement announces “its taco time”

You cant make this chit up

Since it's sponsored, they have to do it in that spot no matter what.

The real issue is them getting lazy in their coaching search

I understand that. Its still pathetic

 

[Trueblue25]

Sad tacos don’t hit like victory tacos

 

[Cuseball]

I’d rather have Mr. Excitement coach this team. He might know how to attack a Zone or sub.

 

[Marsh01]

I miss when games were games only. Dome ranger. No sponsors. $3 bud lights in plastic cups. Get the off my lawn

No they don’t. You do it at the next dead ball. If Taco Bell takes you to court and pulls their $30k you tell them to kick rocks. You don’t HAVE to do anything. It was a joke like Veley always is

There isn’t a Taco Bell corporate compliance officer sitting courtside

That. is the last thing wrong with this program right about now.

They paid for it. You honor what you sold. Period. And when you try to sell something to another vendor and they say hey, you didn't fulfill what you promised the taco guys. That is why you made that stupid announcement.

You’re a good honest man dasher. I do it at the next dead ball and tell Taco Bell to bite me if they call me on it

Okay, do you tell the next vendor the same? And when they say, too bad, we were going to donate to the collective. Oh,. and then they say, bite me back

Another novel idea, you don’t sell sponsorships where you have to talk in the middle of a goddamn play

 

[Ghost]

Everybody knew we were going to lose. Creating some level of ambiguity when it comes to whether or not it is indeed "taco time" is not where we want to go right now.

Declaring "taco time" was definitely the right call.

Different issue. No argument from me there. But if you do, they get what they paid for.

What is wrong with this program is that for the most part, and this is something we all love, we all can't wait for this season to be over. 5 or 6 pt lead and all we do is jack up 3's.

 

[690West]

Jesus Christ. I’m sitting here arguing about a stupid Taco Bell commercial. This is where we are. lol. I need to stop.

That isn't true though. We missed as many chippies as we did 3’s in the last 3 1/2 minutes. Absolutely gut wrenching.

As somebody who worked in pro sports and dealt with sponsorship, that's is exactly how it is.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

How come we don't get free Chick-fil-a when WE miss two FTs?

We worked with a few sponsors that paid right around 7-figure deals. And it's the most annoying thing in the world, but you do what makes the sponsor happy because like you said that money goes to renovations, NIL, facility upgrades, etc.

I think we are going to find that there is a good chance that money or some of it, is being diverted. Hence, busing to games.

Bingo - that money is definitely being utilized elsewhere

In other words, the university views the athletic department the exact same way they did in the 80s & 90s?

Wouldn’t shock me one bit.

I have a buddy who works on sponsorships for an NHL team. They had some deal a few years ago where there was a food giveaway if they scored five goals in a game. Twice that year they got the fifth goal and had the big promotional announcement…while down 8-5.

The problem isn’t so much that teams aren’t aware of that risk - it’s that bringing it up in a contract negotiation -“hey, if we really suck and we’re losing when we score the fifth goal, can we move the announcement to a timeout or the end of the game?” - is really stupid idea since you’ll make sponsors think you know you’re going to be bad, which means attendance will be worse than they think - which means they are signing a bad deal. It’s not just a Syracuse thing, it’s almost every team at every level that has some risk of a poorly timed promotional announcement they are contractually obligated to do.

Totally with you. I really don't care for the game experience; the worse the on-court product deteriorates, the more forced and over-the-top everything else gets.
