At this point I'm ok with the head coach, not that it really matters. The atmosphere of the stadium has changed drastically since I started going to games in the late 1960's. Over a period of time, things got less homey and the college atmosphere inside the stadium started getting slowly compromised. The piped in hip hop trash is an insult to the older fans. The prices of everything including the tickets have skyrocketed over the years. I let my tickets go this past season with the last price increase. While I could have financially afforded them, it is hard to justify the expenditure when I can sit in my den and watch the games on a 60" screen, and lot have to listen to that trash piped in music or frick with the traffic. I can and do still take in a live game a year and those tickets can be found fairly easily.
For those who are pushing to make college football more like the NFL I have a suggestion. Go attend the fricking NFL games. I did for awhile and got turned off, but that is what some want, so the Saints, Texans, and Cowboys are all within reasonable driving distance. College football is a lot about tradition (or at least it used to be). Let it keep its own identity.
Spot on, except I didn't start going until the early 70's. You hit every point exactly. The only thing I differ on is going to a game each year. It's such a turn off from what it used to be. You're right, its become just like an NFL game, and NFL = TRASH !
