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:

quote:

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.

sadly enough, our fan's reputation is fading.

I "loved" the ESPN shot of our fans while Vandy was on offense and they were sitting with their mouths shut, dejected. WTF?!

The sense of entitlement among the ticket holding masses is nauseating. I will say this, those who travel (i.e. Seattle) are keeping the torch lit for now.

It really sux to see what is happening.

I agree the fan base is no where close to what it used to be.Every game no matter the score there is a mass exit of fans at halftime if not before. Our home field advantage has disappeared.We had better crowds during the Hallman era than we have now

OSU can do all the intimidating they want...they lost at home





again.

Intimidating means fear of losing, not just noise.
