It’s sad when a player is paid huge cash to win games, and a fan wants, (needs) to pay huge Bowl game prices for tickets, lodging and travel to see their team compete in a hard earned Bowl Appearance, to only have third stringers on be field.
I have no solution. Money corrupts everything.
I quit going to games after my daughter graduated.
Tired of leaving or even attending games just to get angry at opposing fans with no class. Bama was worst, worse than Gators. May as well be a Cowboy fan in Philly.
Fun talking ball with ya. Have a great year.
