re: How many of you regularly attend your teams games? Home or away
Posted by WG_Dawg on 9/20/24 at 6:56 pm
[quote]these posts don’t bode well for the future of college football. Most everyone is saying the same thing. It is getting very difficult to go.[/quote]
The main "getting difficult" thing for me is I live 4 hours away and have 2 young children. My priorities have simply shifted. Thinking about ...

Used to go to every one of them. Didn't miss a home game from 1997-2012. Didn't miss a single game anywhere from 2004-2012 (101 consecutive). Nowadays I still go to about 10ish a year but just don't have the desire to do all of em. And the way the sport has changed it's probably not too long that my...

yeah call me crazy, but the game that set the all time NCAAF record for biggest blow out in bowl history (not title game, not playoffs...bowl game history) is probably the gold standard here...

They are both practicing on specific formation plays out of the play book.

I love this game! Although I'm surprised to see it started by a rival fan. Let's keep naming more of our title years, I'll go next!

this is surprising to me. For a blue blood program that is supposedly one of the 6 or 7 best in the history of the sport, you'd think they'd have sat atop the polls more frequently than this.

YEARS ago I remember walking around on gameday near the stadium and there was a house that was selling knockoff yellowhammers to go. couldn't tell you anything else about the situation but does anyone recall that or if it is/was an actual "thing"? I don't think it was just some dudes sayin "hey here...

people like that are just incredibly annoying. I guess accoridng to him all those "1980!" memes people used to say about UGA were wrong since technically we won it on January 1st, 1981.

you are definitely different than the usual because you are hyper-focused with every single play and not even just game to game. We'll fail to convert a 3rd down or give up a 5 yard run and you're...

the person above was talking about chambliss, who gets run at/around often.
I still have no clue why everette gets the hate he does. He is in near picture perfect position damn near every play, just has the remarkably bad luck of having the QB and/or WR make a perfect play that is nearly indefen...
