College Football: My Bucket List

Plus, I’d love to re-enact the scene in “Rudy” where I play John Favreau and I stand up screaming, “I know him!!!”

 

Talk amongst yourselves, I’m a little teary eyed right now…

 

Game Time

 

Clemson

Running down the hill at Clemson has been called the most exciting 25 seconds in college football, and players who are gonna give 110 percent get to rub Howard’s Rock. It’s truly one of the more dramatic entrances in college football. I would love to see how the “other” Death Valley lives before kicking the bucket.

 

Oregon

Autzen Stadium packs the most amount of noise per capita than any other stadium. With capacity at just a shade under 60,000, this stadium can hold its own with some of the biggest noise producers in the nation, often passing the 120 decibel mark. I guess I’ll have to bring my Donald Duck ear muffs when visiting Eugene.

 

Nebraska

When using the term "greatest fans in the nation," there are a lot of parameters in play. With that said, the Husker faithful would be near the top of such a list. The fans are knowledgeable and welcoming, but also intimidating.  After kickoff, try not to drown in the Sea of Red.

 

Florida

Some people say for an opposing fan, it’s LSU. But for this LSU fan, the most intimidating opposing venue is "The Swamp." Even its design is a little scary, and then the UF athletic department does something brilliant—they make sure no more than 25 opposing fans are seated together.

 

I’m barely kidding. It’s pure genius. In my one experience in Gainesville I was cursed out by an 80-year-old woman with a cane and kicked in the shins by a six-year-old little Gator girl while her parents watched and laughed.

 

I haven’t made the 10-hour drive since. Despite this, I still had good time.
