Thirty-five years ago, college football was not a "quaint sleepy regional thing" that only people on the campuses cared about, and which the 1984 supreme court case changed. I remember, and in 1983, Nebraska vs Miami was every bit as "big" in a cultural-sports impact sense as was Georgia vs Alabama this year, and in 1973, Ohio State vs Michigan was as well. I was living in Washington DC then, and believe me, those games were huge where i was back then, even though I was watching from far, far away from those schools.

So., what you just said was... you are old Quo?

Indeed I am. The first college football game i watched was on a TV that was an *enormous* (for that time) 22" but set into a piece of wood furniture the size of a sofa, and reception improved considerably when my dad climbed on the roof of the house and mounted an antenna on the chimney, so we no longer had to twiddle with the "rabbit ear" antennae on the set itself to get rid of the "snow", LOL.
