People forget that football was invented for college boys
There was a post CW concern that all the folks moving to the city were raising soft fucking losers since there was no war or hay to get in the barn. It started in the motherland of academis superiority - The Ivy League. In SEC SEC country it also became a part of the whitewashing (lol) of the recent unpleasantness between the states.
Southern schools were excluded from early big time football. Vanderbilt of all teams was the first to venture north
It was a violent game filled with death and injury. Teddy R told them to clean some things up
By the 20s it was in the pantheon of American sport in the new advertising age. That's when the big stadiums were built and UW invented football at Alabama in the Rose Bowl
In the depression the football squad revenue kept the doors open at many a university, College football was king when the NFL was playing on sandlots
It was deeply ingrained in the American Experience. Things change though. Now the NFL is king and when us old fucks die college football may die with us
The History of SEC Football is a great resource for all of college football. 8 parts on the ESPN family of networks
And the history of the west coast football and the Big 10 is a big part of the lore. And our DAWGS are part of it
cool story gramps
I can’t decide between the “quit living in the past” or the “you would know, you were there” quip…so ABUNDANCE!
You’re right Race. I do feel like we’re seeing the twilight of college football, at least as we know it, and we’ve covered the root causes here ad nauseam.
But there will be more realignments before that happens, so it will at least be an entertaining final act.
CFB might not be dying, but the way many of us would define it, what it means to us, probably is. I see people talking shit about WSU fans for posting that they might give up being fans at all, yet I can 100% already see myself heading down that path and my? team is one of the victors. I don't a flying fuck about playing losing to Ohio State outside of Pasadena. It doesn't have any meaning, whatever that means.
Maybe I just need to LIPO. But more than likely for many people this is not the beginning of the end, but somewhere much closer to the middle. And then a bunch of young fucks will repalce us in the modern era and life will go on, and like Race said, what CFB was will be dead with each generation we lose. Maybe that's always been happening and I didn't see it until now. Except I did, because the BCS was the real beginning of the end.

I always wanted to be one of those old fuckers who could barely wave his hat around standing next to his bag of bones that no one would fuck on the Huskytron because I had gone to 70 years of Husky home games and had season tickets for 50+ years. Gave that dream up 4 years ago. Sad!

My brother always joked that the old couple might last the rest of the game.
When Cfb was more regional it was actually more national.
Georgia tech, Nebraska, Colorado, uw, all won natties in the 90s, the whole season was the playoffs plus a beauty pageant, and you didn’t have to have a media corporation behind you to build an elite team.
Every conference had a legit shot of fielding a top level team. Just because of institutional, financial, and demographic factors it’s hard to imagine Nebraska or Colorado ever sniffing a nc.
I think the worst thing is having 2-3 teams monopolizing national talent. That never happened before.

Disney is the number culprit for this, and is the reason Cuog is left out in the cold. Yet those idiots will still proudly fly their flag for that Disney TV show that helped kill mainstream college sports and WSU.

Lol right. The first thing they should be doing is boycotting gameday. But they won’t

They will go harder with all their attention seeking bullshit now. Cook it.
All the Pac 12 schools have professors like these and no one with any power on those campuses gives a shit about what they think.
They know that a prominent state university without football involvement is like creating a startup with no marketing whatsoever.
Only exceptions are schools like Gonzaga and Villanova and really who gives a shit about them.
Unless you’re an Ivy League school, athletics (be it intramural or semi-pro) is usually a good thing for the university, and I really don’t understand why there are still people that don’t understand it’s a symbiotic relationship.
I will however stick up for some of these professors and acknowledge that it’s not realistic for all schools to have big football programs (just like every college doesn’t need an anthropology department). The athletic arms race has gotten out of hand, and many are going bankrupt trying to keep up.
Cal and Stanford should get rid of football and basketball and stick to Olympic sports. They don’t need the FREE PUB! that football and basketball bring.
For the Coug and Beavs, it’s a little more tricky. They’re not national brands outside of CFB junkies. They’re certainly not some no name liberal arts school or community college either. Honestly the MWC is actually a perfect fit for them, as they won’t feel the pressure to spend as much money on sports, while still enjoying the benefits of having a program.
Things always change too…WSU and OSU continue to grow. They can join up with someone else when there’s another realignment.
It's a good conversation to have.
We need to speed up the process of sorting out the Universities that can support an entire AD based off the market value of their football brand and those that can't.
The era of tit sucking of the have nots from the haves needs to come to an end once and for all.
No one, including me, understands what yer talking about. And I mean no one. What you need to do is fly down here and ask someone most of this dumb shit, this Grant and all the rest of this shit you talk…I will arrange it. “Grant, League, Coug, “CFB May be dying”…
fk, all of that shit. It’s shit. Every bit of it. Shit. Wanna converse about it? I’ll be glad to. I’m yer Huckleberry. I’m tired of your beating down my area of the US. I’ve been friends with ya. We’ve traded pics. I can tell you now, don’t say another fucking word about the south with yer biased shit…I can almost bet many have seen this coming. STFU. Or GTFO. You and yer West coast fkery, Puh.
Sorry y’all, guess I’ve seen too much from This guy. I won’t tolerate it from no one, not a sole.

We’ve been pods from way back…but he seems to be pushing it. Pushing hard.
I don’t know if it’s because he has left WA to Oregon and got soft and not “logger tuff” or he has just became a hater of the south and. Complete fag, limp wristed no good sumbitch…
He’s lost his gatdamn mind if he thinks a guy like me from the souf would abandon him.
He’s made his bed. I’m me. And will always be me. I can guarantee @coronabruin knows me. ..
The likes of @YellowSnow dissing me is disturbing.
@YellowSnow would be absolutely best to STFU about anything about the South.

Easy their pod. Oregon is the south for us Cascadia folk. Might be you have more in common than you know? Feel free to meet in neutral Victoria for a citrus lager and talk terms of peace with the row Peter puffer

I don't like this, it's not healthy, and I'd still prefer the Little 12, but enjoy the Mountain West faggots!
Probably come up with some new retarded shit too.
