Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

When has all this money made the game better?

Is it a better sport than in the 80s or 90s? Looks the same to me. Just more $$$ for coaches, ADs, and commishes, while the ticket prices keep soaring. And people eat this **** up


Just gonna sit here and hold my breath until ticket prices come down due to all this great expansion money...

The best is when regular sidewalk fans go on about TV money or markets or something like they’re the ones benefiting from this.

If you think ticket prices wouldn’t have equally risen with the good ole boy handshake bagmen system? You’re not living in the same reality. Watch an 80’s movie and compare the gas prices. More applicable, compare a movie (with snacks) outing then and now. ENTERTAINMENT costs more and yes…we’ll pay it.

We drank Weidermanns at $1.69 a six pack. Connoisseurs.

Old German - 99 cents a six pack. And lived to tell about it.

North Carolina could be pretty dang good at football if they ever went all for it. Set up pretty well with location and all of that

White lightnin' - free. Pops would grade a driveway for a certain fella who gave him 'shine for doing it, and I knew were he kept it.

Seems like yesterday we were just a few weeks weeks away from Balls Tate. Now we're just a few weeks away from Virgina.

1) Conferences gain bigger TV revenue deals.

2) Broadcasters pay more for same content

3) Cost gets passed onto cable providers

4) Cost from providers gets passed onto the fans at home

5) Fans go to a game and still pay more

6) Players still don't get paid by the schools

7) Fans now pay the players via collectives

8) The universities and conferences:

This sounds like healthcare.

Pretty sure folks on VQ know the full story. Definitely was about dating a young teenager tho

Thank you. I know nothing about the guy other than he makes videos that embarrass our entire fan base. Wish we could send him a cease and desist letter.

As for the discussion yesterday. Majors wasn’t ever going to win a national championship here. Quite obvious too. He was at Tennessee for 15 years or so and just never could get over that hump. Dickey did the right thing in getting rid of him for the betterment of the program as seen in 1998. Fulmer started out really hot from 92’-04’ winning a national championship 6 years into his tenure and 80% win percentage. Then he got lazy and couldn’t hire assistants (later proven as the AD In spectacular fashion). He needed to go too clearly. Then Mike Hamilton the ultimate dumba$$ as we all know went on an idiot binge of hiring pure retards. Story of Tennessee football the last 50 years

Having to hire Hamilton cause no one established would take the job should have been the sign the wrong people were in charge.

It's like Gennysee and Olympia, but different and the same. Anyone who slaps 'fine beer' on the side of that yak piss, should be sued for false advertising.

Id rather reach for a Schlitz blue label 40 oz., warm before you get to the bottom. Or a Natty Ice.

'a head first slide... he's up.'

'there's some jawing, oh with the umps will need to clear this up.'

'what a turn of events here John, I mean Thompson came up. Decked em, and I mean both benches cleared...Wow.'

'John, that's going to have a real long lasting impact on this game.'

'Where d'ya go from here?'

"That's Stone Cold's music by gawd!"

They changed their logo to just a V.

and that isnt V for Vendetta.

Should have turned it upside down so the v looks like an a for Andy.

Fixed it. Is this better?

Leave it to an UGA fan!

Their fans, or lack of....sucks. Those people DO NOT give a runny about football.

I hate all this conference realignment crap just as much as Devo....but the SEC needs to hold serve here and keep the B1G out of the south for recruiting reasons if nothing else.
