Football is a much better game on TV than in person.

I disagree. I have attended most of the USC Trojans' home games since 1973 and a lot of away games as well. If you watch it on TV, you don't see the pregame and halftime shows, the horse running down the sideline when the Trojans score a touchdown, and the lighting of the LA Coliseum's Olympic torch at the start of the fourth quarter as the band plays "Galop," aka "Cavalry Charge," from Rossini's "William Tell Overture." And you don't get the thrill of joining the crowd as they cheer touchdowns and boo bad calls.

College at least has some semblance of tradition....nothing better than 80,000+ Gator fans interlocking and singing “We Are the Boys...” at the end of the third quarter.
