The whole thing is just different to me as far as overall feeling.
Even going to the games is different.
College football exploding has crushed the regular joe from being able to attend games.
IT'S extremely corporate now.

It went down hill when teams went to spread quarterbacks that can't pass the ball and rules allowed bush league gimmicks to rule over real football. It is becoming trash.

I agree...I thought it was maybe because Ole Miss sucks right now, but the more I think about it, times have changed. I hardly go to games anymore and sure as hell am not going to spend $$ to go to an exhibition bowl game that 5-7 teams get into.

Really enjoyed watching Penn State/Iowa this past weekend. To me that is the only game that has been worth a shite to watch...Where you actually thought sound football and coaching was occurring from both teams.

Recruiting has a lot to do with it. With all of the services, it is easy to get a gauge of how good your team should be.
When fans see that they have top 10 talent, they expect top 10 teams. Otherwise, the coach is not living up to expectations. Pretty simple.

It is us being spoiled as fans. We expect to dominate. But it's also the product of coaches being paid so much. AU could have beaten Clemson had they stretched the perimeter running game and stopped allowing them to collapse the pocket. It was elementary coaching that you'd expect them to recognize at the price point. I take zero issue in losing when common sense is applied. I take great issue with losing by doing the same fricking thing over and over that is not working.
Get paid $5,000,000 a year, you better be on your Ps and Qs.

Iowa, TCU, Mississippi State, Michigan State, Stanford, and Arkansas all pay their coach more than 4mm. None "expect" to be in the top 10 in recruiting every year.
