I quit going quite a while back due to
* commercial timeouts
* penalty review delays
* big screen replays take away from the intensity of the field
* piped in music
* non-stop ads on screens and audio
Back in the old days the ONLY thing going on was on the field. You paid close attention to each and every play because if you missed it, it would be gone forever. The field today is just one of many things going on and much less important. Tiger stadium today looks and sounds like a 3 ring circus to me (or an NBA game).

Do you remember when a college game lasted 2 1/2 hours. 3 hour games were for the pros. Every home game started at 7:30 and we were on our way out at 10:00 pm. Games were televised, but the network broadcast was tailored to the game, not the game tailored to the broadcast. Colleges prostituted the game for network dollars.
