re: Can someone explain how exactly SEC football was so much cooler 30 years ago?

Games didn't run an extra hour to an hour and a half just for commercials. If you don't understand the thrill of listening to a game on the radio, sitting on your porch, grilling and drinking... don't know what to tell you man.

Even better having the game on while your fishing or shooting dove. I have listened to UGA games on the radio while I wired houses on the side on weekends. I don't remember there being a pre-game or post game show...if there was I wasn't aware. There was the coaches show on Sunday morning and then a coaches call in show on Tuesday usually. That was it. The game was 3 hours at most, it was mostly on the radio in the background while something else was going on, a half hour on Sunday for the coaches show and an hour on Tuesday if you remembered to catch the call in show. 5 hours a week at most. That is mostly pre game shows on Saturdays today.
