re: An old guy who loves game day

People will bitch about anything, but it's probably the best pregame show on air.
It captures the true CFB environment being on campus and amongst the fans.
It's not something you tune into to hang on every word of the 3 hour broadcast and hope for some earth shattering analysis. It's something you put on in the background to get ready for day of football ahead.

Same. My first car was a little Nissan hardbody.
It outlasted my use and my dad took it when I upgraded. He drove it for another 10+ years and it didn't show any signs of dying. People would randomly offer him cash all the time to buy it. One day he finally took an offer probably around 2015 or so.
I still imagine that beauty trucking down the road today, packed with 2x4's and gas station burrito wrappers.

3rd and Chavis followed him from Tennessee. The UT fans warned about it after we poached him.
I'm not saying it was or wasn't true, but I'd be more interested in 3rd down rate in the 4th quarter or when the game was on the line.
67% rate tells me nothing. That includes all cupcakes, all blowouts, everything.

It's an abomination.
We moved into a new house with every bulb in the entire house that dreadful soulless bright white.
It's hard for me to believe that people out there actually enjoy living like that.

I don't disagree. But you could still win with the old brand of football. 2011 is an example.
Would we have won more? Absolutely, but it still worked if you had better athletes than everyone else.

And he just had a fun brand of football to watch
I'll defend this statement even though it seems counterintuitive.
Early Les was indeed a fun brand of football. The offense wasn't necessarily exciting but those teams would beat up opponents. Besides Alabama, you knew nobody was going to push us around. The defenses were indeed fun to watch. Winning was indeed fun.
Les' problem is that he failed to evolve with the game. The early 2010's when offenses were evolving Les just refused to do so. 2011 was probably the crescendo of his bygone era even though 2012 had promise and likely a better offense.
I don't know about anyone else, but watching your team get pushed around and out "physical-ed" is just as miserable as watching an inept offense. 2023 was just as frustrating as some of Les' later year teams and we were the #1 offense in the country with the Heisman winner.

:bow: that is pretty accurate
I was in the student section when the Oweo chant during USCe was concocted (no pun intended). That was the Mad Hatter fake fg against Spurrier game I believe.
I graduated before STTDB got really popular but I do recall it all escalated just as you described.
There's a ton I don't like about the current CFB landscape.
There's also some fun aspects as well.
As much as I think the regular season has been neutered, yesterday was a fun day of CFB, and the games were still intense even though nobody was really eliminated.
The 24 game playoff likely waters it down even more but I'll admit that so far the regular season still has cachet.

The older I've gotten, especially after having kids, the more I appreciate day games.
Between dinner time, bath time and bedtime, it's hard to watch full night games and I'm usually beat by halftime.

Ask those contributors if they'd rather pay $50M for 8-4 or pay $20M for 7-5.
They aren't getting the return they expected, that's for sure.

Baker should be finished. He does not earn his paycheck.
You can get similar results for half the price.

Baker should not be the highest paid coordinator in the country.
He's a good coordinator, and sometimes great against mediocre competition. But he doesn't get stops when the games on the line. He's not elite.
It's the reality of the situation. He either needs to take a pay cut to stay next year or get packing.

But…are they not supposed to call them?
I get what you're saying, but a sport like football that is soooo subjective there needs to be some art to officiating.
You call the egregious penalties that actually affect the outcome of the play.
Some penalties are so ticky tacky it seems like the opposite is happening. The refs want to be involved more than they should be.
Man this was the spot 10+ years ago.
As others have said, when Neyow's started turning into a club of sorts you could see the crowd escalating around there. But there was always a pretty clear line between the 2 spots.
It was only a matter of time until they trickled over.

They're just saying the quiet part out loud now.
Not that everyone doesn't already know it's all about the money, but at least try to have some semblance of pageantry about the game itself, Jesus.
No way Minneapolis is that low. The presidential election was like 90% Kamala in Hennepin County.

Whatever clutch gene he had got knocked out of him by Aaron Donald on the last play of the SB.
