Officiating is also to blame. As I no longer really care about football it is much easier to see how the refs manipualte the game to either effect the point spread or to help one team win.

Holding of some sort occurs on almost every play. So if a ref were so inclined, he could call a holding penalty when it suited him, and ignore it otherwise.

Bama’s home games, especially against weak teams, have the same problem, Saban has been complaining about it for years. Fans are so jaded they only care when the playoffs come.

The attendance of 76,540 which you don’t mention comes against Tulsa, not exactly prime contender. That is not a bad number, all things considered. I wouldn’t worry about it.

They only know winning in Columbus so a number of Buckeye fans are still pissed over their loss last week against Oregon at The Shoe.

A decline in all forms of vicarious entertainment is a necessary step in the restoration of a healthy society.

Yeah! Let’s all go to the library and study our CRT and Marx instead . . . and create a Pronoun Study Group for good measure

“necessary step in the restoration of a healthy society.”

Very good, though I fear we are closer to the Weimar Republic 2.0
