The Traditionalist's Take: Witnessing Greatness in Person
There's nothing quite like the atmosphere of a college football game. The roar of the crowd, the smell of overpriced nachos (worth it?), the questionable dance moves of the mascot. If you're feeling adventurous (and your wallet allows), snag a ticket and see the game live. Just be prepared to potentially argue with someone about the validity of a phantom holding call.
