This predictability actually takes some of the fun out of the for me.
I still enjoyed this year, but just not spectating this year as much as last year or 2012 or other years.

I have to say, for me this year is a bummer for my own personal spectating.
EVERY YEAR for the past 6 years I've driven to one Michigan district every week to watch live. On the days I didn't go to see live, I would have TBA game day showing the multiple event split screen on my big screen TV. I couldn't stop watching FIRST events - I found them to be extremely exciting.
This year, not so much. I tried watching Dallas week one and I quickly found I had other things to do. The only event I've seen live is the event my team competed in, and I think I've watched less than 2 hours of webcast this year. I just can't get into it.
Don't get me wrong - I still love FIRST and I'm not (yet) going to quit over something like this. BUT... I just used to LOVE Saturdays during FIRST season - it was like New Year's day every weekend (I'm a big college football fan too). This year I only watch for academic reasons.
Oh well, the GDC can't be perfect for everyone every year. They had such a good streak of games going. Sure last year had its flaws, but it was still really exciting to watch.
