re: Is anybody here worried about what CFB is becoming?

If you go back and watch the games from the 80’s, college football is a shadow of what it once was. I don’t feel it has near as much cultural significance or carries near as much influence as it once did. The games had more passion, the announcers were iconic, the coaches were iconic, the schools had stronger traditions and identities, it was a man’s game about honor and character, you had real tackling, you had intact rivalries. It was better in so many ways. Plus, society wasn’t near as obnoxious as it is today. There wasn’t an injection of divisive offensive politics inserted into game coverage.
