The Super Bowl

We've all seen the commercials with the older men that have been to every Super Bowl and they are going again this year and never intend to miss one.
I kind of lost interest in the NFL a few years ago and I haven't even seen every game on TV. But, I do like their enthusiasm and admire what they have done.
I have been to one NFL game in my entire life and to be perfectly honest I was bored. I would rather watch on the television if I watch at all.

College football is another story.

It is my passion.

I will admit that I did not watch all the bowl games on this bowl season because frankly many of the teams playing in these games did not deserve to be there at all.
My passion as a college football fan is sort of similar to these older men and their Super Bowl quests.
I would like to travel around the country and attend games between big rivals.
Other than the Texas schools, the only one I have made so far is the USC-UCLA game played in the Rose Bowl. That one was a thrill, but I have more games I would like to make.
Michigan/Ohio State is one of the bigger ones, but there are many long time rivalry games I would love to see up close and personal.
Alabama vs Auburn is one. Tennessee vs Florida would be another.
But, I would like to see everything from Yale vs Harvard to Oregon vs Oregon State. There are just so many and so little time.
I want to catch the passion of the game. I want to see the intensity that goes on in the stadiums and get a feel for the feelings of the fans and the players involved with both sides of the game. I want to go as a neutral and as a person that just loves the game and the atmosphere of college game day. I want to mix and match with the people that are tailgating and see what they have to say and what they have to eat. To smell the food and maybe take a bite out of something to get a taste of their lives and lifestyles during the Fall of every year.

This has been a dream of mine since the 1970s and probably will never come to pass. If it doesn't, I will be all right.
