re: Have to hand it to Alleva, of course gameday will be the ultimate judge

don't understand why this is mutually exclusive for so many people. I'd be pumped for a Saints/Packers game at Lambeau. I am pumped for the LSU/Wisky game at Lambeau. I'd be even more pumped if it was at Camp Randall, but I'm certainly not going to act like the game is a total waste because it's not on campus.

I suppose this all gets down to differences of opinion as what you are looking for on gameday. Some fans love the college atmosphere that on campus games bring and a chance to see and feel what other campus experiences are like. Others don't mind NFL stadium games in large cities as long as it brings in more money for the university.
For me, I do believe at some point you lose a little of the soul of the game when it simply comes down to dollars above experiences. But that's just me.

I live in Houston, but I would rather drive to Baton Rouge, sit in the seats I've had for years and watch LSU beat Wisconsin's arse in Tiger Stadium. Instead, I'll make the same drive the next week to see Sam Houston come to town. It's hard for me to understand why some folks don't see why many of us have a problem with that.
