You do know the players don’t even know you guys are alive yet you are sitting their as grown men crying because your old butt can’t take the 15 seconds to us google for your team roster when the device is literally in your hand.
And sure the novelty will wear off in about 70 years for Indiana type fans like it has for you.
The bottom line is this board has become a whinefest because your teams are losing. We NEVER saw these type of threads when LSU, Bama, UGA, Tenn, were winning Natties. Instead, you guys made thread after thread about how everyone else sucked and that our coaches sucked and our fans sucked because we weren’t selling out stadiums for 6-6 teams. It’s just funny how quickly the bullies become crybabies over 19 year olds.

If things were the way the should be Ole Miss isn’t playing Oklahoma in November. Oklahoma is playing Okie State or Nebraska in a rivalry game where records don’t matter and Ole Miss isn’t playing a regional rival where the records do t matter…and all teams are playing with players who were recruited and developed and and no one cares about playoffs.

Don’t think anyone is blaming the athletes. They should take the money. It is the idiots in charge who allowed it to happen.

Respectfully I never said things haven’t changed, you presumed. Yes, things have changed a lot from my days watching Joe Namath play in Tuscaloosa.
My Saturdays are getting fewer like us all. I will enjoy everyone of them until I can’t. What the Suits and.Money people do is not my concern.
I don’t like it but what can I do?
Good luck this season and I hope you enjoy your Saturdays.

Only thing keeping the NFL at its high level is gambling and fantasy football. Same will happen to college football without more rules to stifle the money game we have now. Playoffs are the only games that have meaning now.

It was never going to last. Fans share in the blame too, though.
The same fans who complain about loyalty are the ones who would rather their school sign a five star from California than a four star from Baton Rouge, Tuscaloosa, or wherever.
The same fans who want players to value a college scholarship are the same ones who want their school sign a kid who does not belong in higher education but is a physical freak of nature.
The same fans who get furious when Tommy Touchdown transfers out are the same ones who just say “Oh well” when Marty Mediocre gets processed and replaced with someone better.

That's why you have a 32 team playoff and eliminate bowl games

Was Alabama ever able to stop that inside trap??
It wasn't the inside trap. His precise quote was "we just gotta stop that little inside trout".
Unfortunately, Bama never stopped the inside trout that day. Kines was a big supporter of Bass Pro Shops and he was always talking about the trout they keep inside, in their aquariums.
Bama's only chance to win that game was the old, reliable Darby Up The Middle and it just didn't work.

Most of us will never be that rich...sucks. Most of us prob make anywhere from 80k-150k a year...most of us probably drive Trucks, like BBQ, and like women with big butts, and will work til we are around 70ish until we can retire.
