What else would you call San Diego State's new stadium, which equates to the latest lob pass for what the school hopes is a slam-dunk entry into the Pac-12? On its best day, which projects to be every game day , college football is almost a sideshow in new Snapdragon Stadium.

The only people who can ever stand up to the National Football League [are the players].” Even then, the players will only do so much.
