but I can tell you in my cirlce, almost to a man, everyone is much less committed to it. For the first time in a LONG time, I missed multiple LSU games with something else going on...including the bowl game. That never happened in the past. I don't know a single person that is more passionate because of it, but know many who are less.

I don't disagree with the idea that it has turned off a lot of folks, particularly more traditional college fans but it is what it is. It has soured my interest but I still watch. It's hard to be as passionate when you don't even know the players or, the ones you get attached to leave on a moments notice.

It will eventually be resolved with a collective bargaining agreement of some sort. It still won't be the same but we can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.
