Okay, except for the occasional baller like nchawg the reality for most of us commoners is that when money gets lean playtime is the first to get the axe. During the Mike Shula years my family of 4 went to 3 or 4 games a season. Under Saban we catch 1. It's usually a Devry, ITT Tech or an Arkansas. You know, just the crap teams. The LSU's, aTm's are priced out of my working mans league. But I'll take 1 a year and National Titles over being the SEC punching bag any day. A fool and his money are soon parted and anyone throwing their's away on season tickets to that abomination that's called Arkansas football wont have theirs long.

There is a lot of bitching and moaning about cupcake games.
If you follow recruiting, these are the best games to see the superstars of tomorrow get their first taste of SEC action.
It is funny to me to see all the same people brag about signing a 4 star stud complain about the very games he gets to make an impact.
The alternatives to cupcake games are home and homes. And even then, you aren't guaranteeing a competive game (ie. Ole Miss or Miss St is never circled on our schedule as a big must see home game).
It's football. Quitchabitchin. Go to the games or don't.

So there is a chance you will be at the Arkansas game in Tuscaloosa this year. Just because you got your associates degree in waste management from a Devry or ITT Tech doesn't mean you have to see those games. I would encourage you to go the Arkansas/Bama game instead. Come by my tailgating spot and I'll hook you up with some food and drinks.

Been a donor and season ticket holder for years. We have good years and bad ones. It is just how it goes. I'm not going to quit supporting my team just because of a bad run. Plus, I got pretty good investment skilz y'all. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine and having fun at games for years to come.
