Hard to believe we play in 5 days, not even excited.

College football just isn't the same anymore. Hell, throw some USCe sucks arse or something, make fun of our history which I know is coming... make me feel something.

At least I got to grow up with the Jefferson Pilot sports days and the back-to-back Outback Bowl wins.

It’s certainly not the same feeling. Most of my excitement comes from nostalgia.

It certainly doesn’t feel like college football has kicked off.

ESPN now days feels like watching a mashup of TMZ, Lifetime, and Court TV.

It’s your choice to be excited

And every bit of it is sponsored by sports books.

It's because of the media and the off-season rhetoric that we have been swamped with. The recent pro players back to college and the ever exploding nil/transfer game has take the anticipation of cfb down multiple notches. I'm thinking that once Saturday hits and real games are played the excitement might just come back.

Wow Jefferson Pilot!

I feel your pain my friend...although mine was attributed to James "Big Game" Franklin...I like Matt Campbell but still can't get excited about college ball.

I'm not excited for game really but I am excited for a solid reason to cook a jambalaya and pile 10 or so of the gameday regulars in the den.

right there with you. Another year of Sark's underachieving. NIL, Portal, now pro players.

Burn it all down.

We play in 3, and I'd say the same. Might be that the forecast is for the temperature to be 98 on Thursday, but even with great weather I still don't think I'd be too excited because I really don't know what to expect. I am looking forward to our renovation being done and having a fully enclosed stadium.

Spurrier was the best thing and worst thing for us. Outback bowls made us so happy. Now we expect more.


but the modern CFB is just boring. Even National Signing day sucks and that used to be like christmas
