    I don't understand this. Why do people want less football and for it to end sooner?

    Not about that. And they are giving us less football in a way.

    Return to promoting each individual game and focusing on it like it's your only care for the day rather than nonstop playoff advertisement and it will slowly fix itself. No one who watches State vs. Arkansas wants to hear about playoffs all throughout the broadcast. Call the game.
    NASCAR was so great for a while. I don't even watch it anymore.

    It's still great in person thankfully. Went to last year's summer Daytona. Phenomenal races. If only it weren't so damn expensive.

    My two cents:

    12 game regular season 9 SEC games for us.

    Keep the championship games.

    8 team playoff on campus with championship at a neutral site. P4 champs get auto bid.

    Keep the bowls but Rose, Sugar, Orange, Fiesta, Cotton, and Peach because NYD bowl games along with Citrus, Gator, and Outback.

    It's Mississippi State fans. I have historical evidence to suggest that yes we would most definitely gripe if we made the final. Some top possible gripes:

    1) The tickets are too expensive. You can't take a family of 4 to this game and that's not fair.

    2) The game is starting too late.

    3) The game is on a Monday

    4) We aren't wearing the right uniforms

    5) Our players didn't come out and sign autographs at the team hotel

    6) Parking is terrible

    7) The concessions were too expensive

    8) They sell beer and there were drunk fans in front of us.


    That's just a few. I could probably get the list up to 25+ in no time.
