I agree with all this. How do we turn games into an "event"? Making the athletic program relevant to our own students, fans and area towns has to become more important. Winning helps, of course. -

I don't think Congress has the expertise or time to deal with organizing a sports entity. It will take an FBS membership conference to organize themselves, but will require court-approved binding contracts for athletes with work rules to abide by. -

Who was playing QB at your first CFB game?
Same, plus soph QB Ken Smith, who replaced Washington when he got injured in 28-0 win over Houston in 1975 at Texas Stadium. -

The only truly fair solution would require Congress to get involved. The money is too large -

We won't cheat like SMU because we don't have their level of giving....and probably never will. The other reasons are that cheating is not in our DNA, and throwing money is not either (I'll skip the cultural history lesson here). It would be nice if we had a following like North Dakota or South Dakota, but they are pretty much the only show in town in those states. HOWEVER, as an FCS school, we had our first and second sell out at Fouts (in its original 20.5 capacity) against SFA and SMU.....which was SRO. We never did that in the Joe Greene/Steve Ramsey era. As an FCS school we traveled about 10K fans down to Texas in 1988. So what was the main difference? We were nationally ranked........and the person in charge of promotions was a devoted NT alum. Our football games are still not cultural events like all the other schools who have long standing traditions.....and who celebrate those traditions. OUR FOOTBALL GAMES CONTINUE TO BE CONTRACTED EVENTS. NONE OF THE NEW PARTICIPANTS COME AWAY FEELING A REAL CONNECTION.- 1
