The alcohol poisoning and drug crises coming out of the rural colleges these days is horrifying

Lol, your obsession with a game you don't care about is amusing. You seem really invested in commenting though. Did the HS QB not ask you to the homecoming dance? Your ire towards the game is "weird."

Go vols!!

Going to be a good one, sadium will be electric! Students having the time of their lives!

Anyone can watch a football game, it has nothing to do with attending a university.

I believe the OP said "college experience" not "college education"

For a lot of people, the OP is correct. College is more than just books, and being a part of a community is a piece of that experience.

Originally, I thought your post was directed to "anti-college football geeks" rather than "anti-college-football geeks."

It's a shame you are so insecure that you felt you needed to create an aggro thread on a subject so frivolous.

Signed, a college-football-loving English major

PS: Go Dawgs.

LOL, we found the geek. "English major."

The mutts are coming into "The Eyes of Texas"... Hook 'Em, Horns!

Ancient alums at football games dressed head to toe in college regalia and actually giving a damn about who wins are so pathetic.

My, you are strange! That’s my only post on this thread. If that counts as an “obsession” to you, I suggest you consult a dictionary. Also look up the word “ire.” Also think about how to move your frame of reference on from high school, so that you aren’t sadly stuck there any longer.

Have a good day watching that ball go up and down the field!

Neither does violin, or piano, or chess, or fencing, or crew, or squash, or ballet, or fraternities/sororities, or ultimate frisbee, any number of other extracurriculars. That’s why are called extracurricular. Yet I would not want to attend a college that didn’t have vibrant extracurriculars. No one is saying you have got enjoy football, but that’s your value judgment; it isn’t fact.

None of these other extracurriculars have a cult built up around them at the cost of actual academics.

14:37 again. I’m not going to read this thread any longer, so please know that I got the last word with you, PP. Go, footballing!

NP. Guess how I know you’re old?

OP, I’m going to make your head explode. I went to Michigan, lived so close to the Big House I could hear the games, and never attended a single one.

Why is this lost on people? So sad.

My brother and I were top flight NCAA D1 athletes. I was the mediocre one at a 3.8 GPA but did go on to the absolute top of the class at a top law school. My brother 4.0 phi beta kappa and went on to become a world renowned PhD economist. We were good students because we were mentally resilient and valued that personal element. We were poor and paid for every penny of our schooling on our own. In interviews I am consistently curious about people such as yourself in terms of mental toughness and resilience. Of course people and hires are important and we dig deeper but your dismissal of sportsing would cause a deeper dig. This is not to say athletics would be required but rather a wholesale dismissal of the same without any recognition of what they can bring raises questions. I went to the second best (ratings) that gives athletic scholarships and my teammates are remarkably successful. They all were tough and resilent.

Loves a sport played indoors? Watching a ball go up and down a court? Your son is a saint. I bet he has no relationship with the FB players... 🤡

This response is completely nonsensical.
