Here is your warning! Do not, I repeat DO NOT plan any honey do's, weddings, engagements, births, vacations (out of country) for September 5!Why......we might not be in college anymore but we will ALWAYS be a college football fan! Why is this, it is a tradition. Yes we will watch schools we did not attend. Why, our father, brother, sister's boyfriend's best friends twice removed cousin attended and was in the matching band.
A few years ago I planned a vacation to Italy. Didn't look at the calendar (was more concerned with how many vaca days I was taking) and ended up being in a remote town the first weekend of the season. No TV, no internet but luckily received score updates via blackberry from a Michigan fan. As a Notre Dame fan, it was great that they lost to a Division IAA school.
Seriously, every game matters! Lose one in college football and no chance at a championship (we don't have playoffs and that is blog for another day). Every game impacts the Heisman trophy race, your draft possibilities and if your donors are happy or not.
What to plan:
1. A relaxing day on the couch
2. Friends and family watching TV (ESPN, CBS, ESPN2, NBC, ABC, Fox Sports, Versus - are the only channels allowed) from 9am PST - bedtime
3. Go to Costco the Friday before and get food, beer, throast losangers for Sunday and Motrin for the headache if your team loses.
