Why Red’s “line change” sub pattern is killing this team

[FloridaCuse]

I've developed a watching strategy now where I'll wait until the game is over and then, if they win, I'll watch the replay recorded on YouTubeTV or the ESPN replay. Saves me a lot of stress and is much better for my blood pressure. Sometimes I'll follow along with the ESPN gamecast. I've made the mistake a couple of times tuning in in the 2nd half thinking they were cruising to an easy win only to watch them blow a big lead and have it come down to a tense final couple minutes. No more of that - no watching until the result is final. Even then when I know the result, it's still a bit stressful watching them blow a lead.

I'm not close to doing yet but am thinking about it. Last year I just totally stopped watching after the Georgetown game. I think this year if I did what you do, I might even watch the wins.

don't subscribe to ACCN so mostly i just listen live on the radio and sometimes watch condensed game next day if it was close or controversial . but i just can't do the strategy above of watching a replay when you already know the ending. kinda like a movie spoiler it just changes the whole experience for me of watching when the tension is gone. i mean can you watch CASABLANCA (spoiler alert here) the same way if you know thru the whole movie that rick ain't getting on that plane ? no way. watching a replay the next day for me is like cheap motel sex. it's pretty good but it's not the same as real time. you feel a shady and second class after . open the curtains to the noon time sun , hungry for breakfast knowing that every else has already eaten ... but they ain't serving lunch yet.
