re: When did college football stop being fun?

you probably should've taken the hint and figured out how not to jizz the second you put it in. It's on you.

Why? They both started at the same time! It's up to her to keep up.

Long time ago, someone was bitching about Bear Bryant why he should make more than the professors. His answer was; "when you can get a history professor to put 80,000 people in a classroom then we should make the same".

I think you're mad that we suck

You sound like a bandwagon fan

The attitude you take towards football is up to you. Some of us have seen the changes through the years(some good, some not) and still love the thrill of the unknown outcome before the game. The hogs have not really been good since joining the SEC but believe it or not the games are more fair than they used to be. Money drives everything so there will always be some bs to deal with.

The 4 team playoff just isn't that memorable

At least it produces a real national champion.

Not at all - been around Carolina football all my life. Class of '90 - sat through 0-21. Has nothing to do with Gamecovk football BUT the college football atmosphere as a whole.

College football no longer has that electric feel from the past - where the excitement came from pride in your university. Now it seems the college football experience is nothing more than a multi billion dollar feeder industry for the nfl.

It has been that way for a while. I agree with some of this, mainly based on the gameday crap that happens now. Too much hype, too many "honorees" at every time-out. Too many videos, too many pop song clips.

It isn't what it was back in the day. It is an advertisement wrapped in a marketing plan.

College football is always fun and unpredictable. It's more fun when your team you like is winning haha

i think it's still exciting. every season i am continually surprised at how continually surprised i am. cfb never fails to surprise me or disappoint, each week. i was riveted by the auburn/ark game, not just because it was 4ot but also to see where the 2 teams land in the pecking order. it's such a dog fight every week.

i also find that there is absolutely, unequivocally no substitute for being there. the lsu/fla game was incredible. my stomach was in a knot the whole game. the last 2 lsu/bama games in b.r. have been unbelievable. some of the best fb i've ever seen. watching at home is great because i'm sometimes rocking 5 or 6 games at once on big weekends.

on the subject of espn - couldn't care less. i NEVER watch gameday, 30 for 30, sportscenter, etc. i can't stand that crap. i will watch for the sid story this weekend though but, that is a rare, rare exception and has almost nothing to do with the gameday garbage.

the old bowl system and the subjectivity - hated it. the arguments about who is better, i find totally stupid. i liked the bcs better and i like the playoff even better. there's still plenty of room for trash talk every season.

Spurrier did more for SoCar than Lou Holtz and in the long run the way Spurrier left was better for SoCar bc they can have the new coach ready by the season's end which can save recruiting.
