As an older fan-things I miss about my college football

Days when the Toledo-whomever game wasn't televised
Prime time games were an event that happened once a year
The SWC
The Arkie-Texas game
Football jerseys that had sleeves-now they are basically tank tops with numbers
When the only place you saw anybody wearing multi-colored shoes was the bowling alley
Keith Jackson and Frank Broyles
The big 4 on New Years day-Sugar, Cotton, Rose, Orange
Conference champ tie- ins to bowls
When a team had a colored jersey and a white jersey and the rest of the uni stayed intact.
Plain old football stadiums-not the dance party that has become BDS
Mizlous's coverage of bowls
The REAL artificial turf
Players staying for 4 years
Not knowing who the hell u signed in Feb. until they played
Coaches who had press conferences together and it was obvious they had just left the bar
Sunday afternoon Coaches shows when they actually acted like they wanted to do it
Stanford, Baylor, TCU, Okie State, Iowa, Wisky, Florida, State, Georgia Tech, Florida State and Oregon all sucking balls.
Texas, Houston, USC, UCLA, Pitt, Penn State, Arizona State, Washington, Nebraska and Tenn all being common top 10 teams.

I stopped right there

Lets be frank, things were better when you received score updates via horse and buggy

Well, it was a lot grittier. A lot more heady players out there. I bet the field was littered with coaches kids.

You mean guys would rather play on grass than concrete? I'm not sure I believe that.

i bet they all prefer playing in cleats that actually let you hook into the ground over just playing on running shoes

By the way, thank you for your service defeating the Kaiser.

My dad played football with a leather helmet on and a potato sack for a jersey and he loved it.

Re-watching older games on Youtube is somewhat bothersome because they typically only showed a score after someone scored or at the end of the quarter/half.
