So I got free tickets to the VA Tech - UNC game yesterday, drove down and met an old friend and his family, enjoyed tailgating immensely, and then enjoy the second half beatdown. As you can see, I went to JMU, and enjoyed our smaller football program a great deal as well.
My comment is simply about how much I enjoyed the entire experience yesterday. The last couple of years I usually make it up to one Skins game, and comparing the two, the college games are much more fun. When you take into account the parking nightmares, obnoxious drunk fans, etc, I think the college experience wins out. Plus, there's just something cool about the college chants with the band, and just flat out owning another school's stadium (UNC fans are weak, by the way. 33% of them were headed for the doors with 10 minutes to go).
This is NOT a thread to bash the NFL of course. I'm just saying I would probably rather watch the NFL on my flatscreen, but enjoy going to the college games.
What are your experiences like?
