re: Before you bash our football team and coaches.......

I'm not so much an egotist that I believe what I have to say is so profound but I'll repeat a post of mine from another thread:

Once again, you have more and more people sitting in corporate season ticket seats with trophy wives etc. etc. that come to see and be seen.

Right that Florida fans sure didn't leave in a rainstorm when they were stomping a heavy underdog.

Real, diehard fans have been priced out of going to games.

Watching Ohio State play USC, it killed me to admit that their stadium is worlds above Tiger Stadium now as far as noise and being an intimidating place for visitors.

I admit though--I've never seen a fanbase and a stadium fall so far, so fast--in the space of about 8 years--from the most initimidating venue in college football to tens of thousands of spoiled fat cats who are there just to see and be seen and leave a stadium embarrassingly empty at halftime of a close SEC game.

Tiger Stadium is just a shell of its former self.

That's sad.

And yes. The national media is starting to notice what a spoiled fan base we have.

Thanks for pointing that out, TOTP.

Well said. I also think that with ticket prices the way they are(taf and all) that alot of the blue collar people dont have season tickets anymore( which was our rowdy fanbase). These rich assholes are too good to get wet.
