Subject: Re: Attendance Author: Boston Lion [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:36:49 10/21/24 Mon In reply to: voy vey 's message, "Attendance" on 10:19:08 10/21/24 Mon AO: Thanks. GG: Good point. I fully agree. Just want to clarify that my comment was not about interest in football; it was about the qualities (personal qualities) that are valued and engendered by football. While those two things are related, I see a distinction there. To my mind, no matter how popular the sport of football may remain in parts of the country, modern culture seems to this humble observer to be moving away from the qualities I mentione, and doing so at a pretty head-snapping rate.

[> [> Subject: NY times take on football rivalries Author: Lion Rooter [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:03:49 10/22/24 Tue interesting article about conference realignment and the lopsided side of it all, eg, they quote Oregon vs Oregon state - long time matchup that might not happen any more the author quotes a Univ. of SC prof - "Imagine a world without Harvard playing Yale. ... the essence of college football is fading - if it's not gone already. It's about money and TV and putting yourself on a national stage." That about sums it up I guess - reminds of the Daily Penn paper and the quitter Dingle of their hoops team saying he knows how he will "fix" Ivy athletics -- lol the arrogance of youth !
