I actually witnessed, once again, a real live college football game. I was at the Penn State - Auburn "whiteout" game. 109,958 people present. The place was rocking!!!! Noise was deafening. By in-large, not to many stupid penalties. Exciting game. I love FSU, but why spend the money and the time on the product that was witnessed at Wake Forest when I can watch in person some real college football. It was amazing!
Whenever FSU went on the road, there once was a time when people from other schools would fill their stands simply because Florida State was in town. They knew their team was most likely going to lose, but it was FSU that they all wanted to see. Sad, but not anymore. The Wake Forest fans could not even fill their own stands, even with FSU in town. Compare that to 109,958 in Happy Valley.
I felt two things.
1. Felt great to witness how really good college football can be, and
2. Sad at how far FSU has fallen.
