Noles are the team I've followed since I started watching college football and have been to watch them 3 times. Superb experience. Watching Michigan vs Florida at moment as a warm up for the late game. Florida are dreadful offensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their stadium has a capacity of 109,901. I think the Aggies have big numbers too - capacity of 102,500 ish. The Badgers nearly always sell out but are limited to a tad over 80,000. What would some of our football clubs give for attendances like that? If you have never been to a college game and get the opportunity, do not miss it. A full days entertainment including a fifth quarter at many places. Edited September 3, 2017 by bolty58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather spoiled it really, damp and miserable. Pretty much everyone was leathered mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing day out - especially the fifth quarter. As you say, everyone leathered from the pre-game tailgating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underpants Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 The fact you stopped watching it as you thought it was boring and are about to follow a boring team would suggest you will Are you suggesting I pick a team that wins more than loses and has a reasonable chance of some success? Or in other words, be a glory hunter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly it won't matter who you chose, watch a few games and there'll be something about a team that draws you in. It's all a bit arbitrary picking a team ut it helps the enjoyment of watching the sport if you have an interest in the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denver will win more than they lose as defensively they're very strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll stick with consistently predictable Everton, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved it. I followed the Stealers. Went to a couple of Wembley games in the 90s and also took in a Miami vs Cleveland pre-season match over in Miami when on my hols. I just massively fell out of love with it all. Every year I say I'll give it a go but never get beyond the 2nd or 3rd week. I preferred the package C4 put together. Sky's live games take up too much of my time and are duller than a Leigh Vs Featherstone playoff decider.

Give Redzone a bash then, unless the Steelers are playing its what i watch and it's really enjoyable especially if the sky game is a snore fest. plus the added bonus of no ad breaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Redzone is generally on Sky Sports Mix, which is free to air. Broncos are my team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
