This era of football is still the best ever and blows away early 2000s, 90s, 80s, and prior. Having season tickets is great and I love going to games over watching on TV, but having the ability to watch every game in HD regardless of how crappy the opponent is unmatched. I remember being forced to listening to a game @Kentucky on the radio in the 90s because it wasn't broadcasted on TV. I remember being forced to watch LSU road games that were picked up by Jefferson Pilot in Standard Definition with the crappiest broadcasting quality imaginable.
Standard definition games were so bad that you couldn't see the team's formations on a play or read the jersey numbers to tell who was in the game. You can be as nostalgic as you want about those prior eras, but you had less access to quality broadcasts, fewer replay angles, games decided by shitty calls, and little to no access to 24/7 coverage of the team/recruits/interviews/player updates etc etc.
This era may slow down a game, but it is light years better than any era prior due to the access of content. I'll sit through a slightly longer game and take all of the modern benefits. GTFO with your nostalgia

There is no debate that the current era is the TV era and that fans AT HOME get the best coverage, more games, and better quality broadcasts than anytime in history.
But the days BEFORE RV took over were much, much better for the fans even though the games now have replay screens which have made games better in person.
If there was a happy medium between the days of yesteryear and what we have now, I'd love to see it; however, its only going to get worse. Money talks and BS walks and right now the TV networks are writing huge checks.
