When the game is worth Walton being serious for, he'll be serious. When the game turns into a 20 point blow out, nobody is still watching the game for the sake of the game.
I hear that the UCLA Arizona game last night was a really good game ... but since Larry Scott decided that creating a regional sports network without getting the largest satellite provider (particularly when it comes to sports) on board first ... most people didn't watch the game.
This. I saw that UCLA was ahead so I wanted to watch it. I saw it was on the Pac 12 network and I didn't want to watch it enough to get a stream from my computer. It's ridiculous that only the championship game for the Pac 12 is on ESPN. And it's on at 11 Eastern when nobody will watch.
Meanwhile, almost every ACC, Big 12, and Big 10 game has been on ESPN or CBS.
