I haven't been to a live game day in quite a many years, maybe 15 or so. I was probably too old then but went anyway for the 'experience'. it was kind of boring then, and gotten worse since. Watching today at times is almost painful. The slate of games probably contributes, but it seems ESPN is trying to hard to appease the masses. I think they have lost the formula for a good live broadcast. Might as well be a studio show again.
The early gameday broadcast were exciting . I attended a few in the early / mid nineties , they were a little raw, kind of pep rally'ish. The hosts were close to the crowd, the crowd stayed excited and full of emotion and the set had few props or technical displays . Those were great, what college football passion was all about. Today's broadcast , the hosts rarely speak to or even at the crowd. The crowd seems uninterested because they are not involved, might as well be a studio show. Just wondering what everyone else thinks about the evolution of gameday?
