Football is a wonderful thing. It may not be huge around the world, like the "other" football, but it serves its purpose in the United States. Here are some reasons why football, particularly for a college student, is absolutely amazing.
1. It gives some college students, over the age of 21 of course, reasons to get belligerently drunk and scream at literally anything.
2. It gives nostalgic old alumni reasons to try and fit in with us hip youngsters
3. It breaks up the absolutely dreadful baseball season. Sadly, this happens when baseball actually gets good, but football is still the real MVP
4. Not only is it exhilarating to watch people run full speed at each other, for free I might add, but it is also a great way to show that our school is better than yours. A giant fuck you to the opponent.
5. Got anger? Go to the game, scream at some officials. Literally better than therapy.
6. The infamous TV show "Blue Mountain State" has given football games a certain aura. Basically, restating point #1. But also mentioning the greatest non-Office comedic TV show on Netflix. Perfectly worth it.
7. When referring to the NFL, football gives everyone a professional league that is actually worth watching since basketball ended (sorry baseball).
8. We get to watch Kirk Herbstreit talk like he knows college football and Lee Corso incoherently ramble on.
9. The signs on College Gameday are all worth it
10. Last but not least, it gives something entertaining until College Basketball <3 ... did I already mention that?
