Football

Well as I found out during the fall that football is not the sport they get excited about here. I was really surprised too. The traffic, tailgating and everything was like a ghost town compared to Athens on game day! There was finally a weekend that we had an early game and FSU had a late game so I was off to experience some ACC football. I mean FSU is supposed to be a big football school right?

Even for a key ACC matchup against Boston College, a night game on espn, and was their version of "the blackout" the crowd was sparse, no tailgating in the sense like I am used to in Athens. The fans in the section where I sat were making fun of their own team and got more excited and paid better attention to the bobblehead race on the big screen than they did the game.

We just have no idea how lucky we are in Athens until we have to do without!
