When fans go to soccer games and watch them on television, they are anticipating the exciting moments of the game. They want to see goals, and they want to see the big plays.

My senses tell the story of college football better than I can. The stimulation that runs stupendously deep for months on end is the most tangible reminder that this sport is more than a game played by young men, but a living, breathing right of autumn.
