The Next Generation of Hurricanes Fans
Two of my younger cousins live near the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. They are both huge fans of football and basketball. Living so close to the university has given them the opportunity to attend many home games. Though they are both years away from college applications, they are both convinced that they want to be Miami Hurricanes.
Even though I am not a Miami fan, I still want to encourage their enthusiasm for college and collegiate sports. This past Christmas, I bought them both customized college jerseys. They’re orange, green, and white, and have my cousins’ last name on the back, as well as the number of their favorite player. They were both so excited for the gift and can’t wait to show off their new swag at next year’s home games.
The Long Road to the Heisman
Each year college football is brimming with elite athletes with aspirations of winning the Heisman trophy. Fans go out and buy their custom NCAA jerseys in droves and the player’s schools will often spend exorbitant amounts of money to win over the Heisman voters. Of course, by this time each year some of those preseason hopefuls are entirely out of contention while others have emerged as frontrunners for the honor.
Mark Ingram, the reigning Heisman winner, had to sit out the first two weeks of the season due to a knee injury. Despite the fact that Alabama won these contests with ease, many analysts think that those two games of lost stats could cost him in the voting at the end of the year. But when it comes to the Heisman, it’s important to keep in mind that it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Performances against conference rivals towards the end of the season always seem to carry more clout than the inflated numbers racked up against creampuffs in the fall.
Are You Ready for Some Football?
I absolutely love the summer season and never want to see it end, so it’s a good thing that the dawn of autumn also brings a bevy of benefits. Not only do I get to send my kids back to school—thank god—but the coming of fall also marks the beginning of football season. When the weather is beautiful during the summertime, I don’t mind that baseball is the only sport to watch. But when it gets dark and gloomy, I need steady diet of football to keep my occupied inside.
It’s during the football season when I really appreciate living on the West Coast. Every Saturday my son and I put on our NCAA football jerseys and dig in for a daylong football extravaganza. We can roll out of bed a 9am and the Big Ten games are already on. Then on Sunday, we only have to wait until 10am for the first morning game, plus the night games are over by 9 so I can get to bed at a reasonable hour.
Saturdays at the Sports Bar
I graduated from a Big Ten university several years ago and promptly moved across the country to the West Coast. It’s been virtually impossible to watch my alma mater’s football team on a regular basis without paying exorbitant fees for a cable package. Luckily I found a bar downtown that’s owned by a fellow graduate from my old school. The whole place is decorated in college football jerseys, and he’s just as crazy about the game as I am.
It’s been a down year for the Michigan State Spartans; they lost an embarrassing early game to lowly Central Michigan and then fell short in the annual rivalry matchup against Notre Dame. Despite the team’s brutal mediocrity, it’s comforting to have found a kindred spirit out West who has shared many of my college experiences. Besides, there’s always next year.
