re: How different has your love for college football changed from now to a year ago?

Someone told me there was a game tonight. I haven't looked to see who is playing yet. Does that answer your question?

I keep forgetting the NCG is tonight. I’ve been a cfb junkie for 20 years. This year it has been background noise.

Although being an LSU fan might have something to do with that.

I'm ready for them to cut scholarships and return to club level ball. Not worth it anymore.

I hardly care anymore. It went from a 10 to a 2

It’s more apathetic with LSU. Downright cheering against the Saints.

How different has your love for college football changed from now to a year ago?

Well, I've been in love with LSU Athletics, specifically football and basketball since I was 12 years old (before that with basketball) in 1982. It was all consuming. I was always an athlete, so sports were huge for me. Having sports disappear this spring sucked, but it did help make this summer and fall possible, in that it weaned me off rather than going cold turkey.

Though I attended college elsewhere, my love for LSU never passed and in 2001 I got my set of season tickets. I had them through last season and I think I only missed one home game during that time frame.

After LSU lit up Tiger Stadium in George Floyd's high school colors and lit the scoreboards up in BLM logos, I was done. DONE. I took the refund option on tickets for the 2020 season and enthusiastically told the ticket office they I was not be renewing my seats in 2021 or beyond. I did not watch one minute of an LSU game all season and though I missed the nostalgia of it all, had no issues giving it all up entirely. Keep in mind, I was THE LSU guy in my family and friend set. but just like that...poof...gave it all up.

And it seems with each passing day, LSU does something idiotic making me feel even more comfortable about my decision. what I did was not a boycott, as that implies that I'm trying to hurt an organization in hopes they'll alter their actions. At this point, there's nothing the current set of players, coaches or administration could do or say to have me buy tickets again.

I don't even know who won NFL games this past weekend, although I read a headline that stated Baker Mayfield is the first OU quarterback to ever win a playoff game, but I don't know who he played. Is he backup to Joe Burrow or something?

I used to go to 6-7 Bama games per year and follow recruiting like I was on crack. I've seen one full game and might watch a little tonight but won't if something else comes up. I at first wouldn't watch because I thought it would be 4-5 hours of BLM promotion but I've not heard a lot about it honestly.

I think I'm getting callused over being called a bad guy because of my political beliefs and because I'm white. I've done a lot in my lifetime to help people in my community, state and even other countries. I'm not a horrible person and I may not be the best person either but I've done nothing to anyone to be constantly critized by elites in government or media. As a matter of fact I have probably helped far more of those of different color and social status than any one of them. I'm just so disgusted with all of it.

I will watch some but I won't love it anymore.

Missed entire games this year and didn’t even go back and watch the replay. Entire LSU game where I haven’t seen any of it. Never once happened before. Also the first season I did not attend at least one home game.

180 degrees. It’s all a shitshow now.
