Sorry, I just cant seem to get that out all the way before busting out laughing.

I don't know why anyone would ever go to any place in the states of Missippi or Trailerbammer. I try my best to avoid stopping even for gas.

I will still watch.... However, if you feel this is the same quality of game/student athlete of even 15 years ago, you are kidding yourself... These entitled punks are getting worse every year and us fans forking over big time $$ to watch the games are making it that way...

Is it really any worse than its always been, or are we just more aware of it due to all the forms of media these days?

Other than my company match donations, my cable bill , and a home game every now and then, I don't give jack. Definitely not big $$.

This.....it's not like we didn't know that Bear, Boobie, Switzer, Osbourne and dozens of others were just too good to be legit.

Not to mention Give 'em Hell Pell and the mess he left us in during the early - mid Eighties.
I still can remember celebrating on 13th and University only to have it snatched back.

Different time and a really small program in the grand scheme of things. Easy to be tough on a program that doesn't bring in any revenue to speak of.

They were a big program back in the day when they finally got the death penalty. They were on the cover of SI with Anthony Dickerson and Craig James - the Pony backfield. They were caught cheating 3 times - latest was when the former Tex. Gov. Clemens was running their Board of Trustees. Every school in their conference - the former SWC - had been nailed for big-time violations. It was the true " if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying". SMU is a very wealthy school with a lot of oil money that paid their athletes big-time.

I have a 1984 Gators SEC Championship limited edition commemorative 16oz Coke bottle (unopened). I also have that Sports Illustrated with Wayne on the cover from when we beat Miami. Ahhh, the ups and downs of the eighties.....

I think it's a little of both.

1. We're aware of EVERYTHING.. because everyone has a camera in their pocket and everyone under 30 is stupid enough to post everything online.
2. The big money of CFB has gotten out of control and these 5-star kids are being treated like gods starting in middle school.

Ain't it the truth! My wife just watched a 6 minute video of one of her nieces airing dirty laundry and claiming poor, pitiful me on Farcebook. :facepalm:
