They justify it. I knew the Nebraska game was going to be not good when I was driving in to ND for the game and the tollway was packed with Husker fans. It was a sea of red. Georgia was embarrassing though those fans were very good people. I also thought the Arkansas game would have been the same and I wonder if the Tenn State game will be packed with their fans. The Nebraska game was blamed on faculty for selling out and ND was supposed to put a stop to it. Then came Georgia and Jack said he was going to use the eye in the sky to put a stop to it. I haven't missed a home game in 23 years and believe me, I notice every time. Even the student body will leave early at times. The point of the Marshal or California games is to take in the day, walk the campus, visit the sites, get to your seats early, watch pre-game, tailgate, stay for the whole game and screw traffic. Make it a memorable gameday experience whoever the opponent. I look at the Tenn St game as a chance to meet and greet some of their fans, help them with campus directions, watch their band at halftime, and soak it all in. But, that's me.
