    When I was a student, I was told to sit down several times by old folks behind the student section. I bet they are glad about moving the kids to the end zones now. Disagree on HDTV. Nothing beats actually attending the game.

    You'll have to forgive the tech school guy for not appreciating the deeper connection alumni have.
    All of the atmosphere around the game is awesome.

    Watching the game itself in the stands just isn't as good as watching it on TV (in HD, or 3D as available).
    Downvoted for suggesting 3D TV as a superior experience instead of the scam that it is. I can perceive depth on a regular TV just fine, and don't have to wear stupid glasses or get a headache in the process.

    WTF'd for missing a long-running joke about TV, HD, and 3D.

    I'll admit that I throw away money to attend games at Pool Boy Stadium. The tailgating, the game and all that other walk-with-dad-on-crisp-fall-afternoons bullshit is ok and everything....but I'd be lying if I didn't say I enjoy the hell out of it when the Huskies have a road game and I can watch 14 hours of college football on the plasma screen HDTV and my leather chair.

    The beer is easy to get to. I can cut up lines of cocaine on my coffee table. I can even get a hot Asian hooker to blow me while I watch a game for a nominal price.

    Mirror > Coffee Table
    Mirror is cliche. Any table or smooth, hard surface works fine. They are all the same.

    I don't care how/where I watch the game as long as I have the coldest beer in town.

    There's no question that schools around the country have fucked up in understanding what drives their fans to attend games and the balance between what separates college football from professional football.

    I have less of a problem with the TV aspect in the sense that having the games on TV is a good option. What I don't like about TV is how they hold everybody hostage from a timing perspective. Have your TV slots, fill the games early, and get on with it. These 6- and 12-day windows fuck with way too many people and make too many say forget it.

    Watching a game in person is always better than watching it on TV. That won't change. But there are many ways to make the experience better - and remembering why college football is college football is a good start.
