The Pursue Of College Football

Each season college students and fans support their sports team in hopes of a National Championship Title. They purchase season tickets, team clothing, and expensive sports packages from television providers in order to watch their team from afar. This generates a lot of cash for universities and retailers.

As an Iowa State student, I enjoy going to the games and supporting my school and team. The games are what I look forward to every weekend. There is a common characteristic of the love for Iowa State and Iowa State’s athletic teams in the stadium. The excitement from all the students and other Iowa State fans brings joy to my eyes. My favorite part of the football games is when all the fans in the student section are standing on the bleachers and cheering together and supporting our team. Although our football may not be very good, we still go to the all games and see our football players do the best they can and bring a win for Iowa State University. Everyone enjoys when the fight song plays and when we sing all the common cheers all together. The stadium gets so loud when there is an exciting play that happens in the game. When there is a touchdown for Iowa State the stadium gets so loud that I can’t even hear myself think and I enjoy the commotion from everyone where we all go around and high-five the people around us. With so many fans, the stadium must have a good size to hold all the cheering fans in one place. Because of so many fans, the stadium is the sixth largest stadium in the Big 12 Conference (by capacity) and the third newest in the conference. The record for most attendees to a single-game was against Kansas State with an attendance 56,800 people

Going to a university where football is taken as serious as it is here at Arizona is an affair of it’s own. Personally, I had only experienced various high school football games, until September 3rd, 2015 when I decided to attend The University of Arizona vs. UTSA here at our home stadium. The school spirit, pride and student section, also known as the ZonaZoo, are all such huge contributions to the experience itself. Although football games are only one part of the community here at the U of A, they bring out the comradery in our student body as U of A students love to watch their school succeed against opponents.

Every year college athletics are becoming more of an annual tradition and popular entertainment. The annual rise of the revenue from

In college, students will meet new people and make new friends. They have many indoor and outdoor activities such as racquetball, basketball, tennis, flag football and other things (“Indiana University BloomingtonIndiana University BloomingtonIndiana University Bloomington.”). Students also get to try some delicious restaurants such as Mother Bear’s Pizza, The Irish Lion Restaurant and Pub, BuffaLouies’s, and more ("The 10 Best Bloomington Restaurants 2015 - TripAdvisor."). A lot of students even go to the sporting events such as volleyball, basketball, football, etc. Many love rooting on their favorite team in a crazy atmosphere on game

For most everyone who comes to see a game at Bryant Denny Stadium, the memory is unforgettable. To experience a game at this stadium is to have an experience like no other. While I have only been a part of the University of Alabama community for a few weeks, I know that every part experience is memorable from tailgating before the game to celebrating after the game. The only thing second to watching the game in person is to tailgate on the quad before the game starts.

As the weekend begins, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte’s campus transforms from lethargic into a jocund atmosphere. While some look forward to parties on the weekends, others look towards Saturday, a day where, for three hours, a fan will sit in the stands and observe one of America’s most famous sports: football. Playing a major role in American culture, football has become a lifestyle for many that involves tailgating, socializing, and friendly rivalries. Today, anyone can experience the thrill, heartaches and triumphs of football just by observing. UNC Charlotte provides a first-hand experience of this popular sport for the community, alumni, students, and staff. This past game was the homecoming game against Florida International University. Fans near and far came to the Jerry Richardson Stadium to watch the Niners take on the Panthers. Through its modern design and lively ambience, the Jerry Richardson Stadium of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte provides a unique experience for all football lovers.

While an official football season is only September to January, any fan knows it’s a year-round sport – spring games, summer practices, and the never-ending recruitment process. Coaches start looking at potential players the minute they catch their eyes, but it is not until their junior year that coaches can start to communicate their interests in them. Fans start to follow the very elite athletes, hoping they will commit to their college of interest. There is a lot of focus on getting the highest ranked athletes all on your team, and it begs the question: does a highly rated recruiting class translate to success on the field? My thoughts are yes and no. In order to create a winning team, you need to bring in athletes that are better than the opposing teams, but it is also what you do with those athletes – highly ranked or not – that determines their success in college football.

Today was my first time return to my old college turf. As I step onto the pitch and watch a game, the memories of games and practice started to flood back. I could see important moments of my action from my old glory days at mccc. It remind me that my background has created the player i am. I had learned when i step on to the field and stunned everyone by doing what none of them thought you could.

Football is a popular sport because there are tailgate parties, game significance, fantasy football, and the Super Bowl. The tailgate parties happen before the game 4-5 hours earlier. It is a social event where fans surround

As a diehard fan of the NC State Wolfpack, often overshadowed by two blue shaded programs, and the Colorado Rockies, a perennial bottom feeder, I know this as well as anyone. However, each team, no matter how dreadful, has a game on the schedule that their fans can look forward to: the Rivalry Game. Think Red Sox-Yankees, Duke-UNC, Auburn-Alabama; these games provoke much more emotion than any other game. No sport does rivalries better than college football, with each team reserving the last week of the regular season for their biggest rival, giving fans at home one glorious day of college football in its purest form. This one Saturday in late November is a superlative showcase of sports: every team taking the field one last time, against their biggest rival; the tension, the emotion, the passion- nothing beats

Across this great nation it is tradition to some to gather on Saturdays to witness the best football games in the world. I’m not talking about professional, I’m talking about the tremendous game of college football. The thrill of men playing for the love of the game instead of the paycheck is an exuberant sight. Yet, even though I speak so greatly about it some say it is just a distraction to students. While college sports might take attention away from learning in some eyes, college sports give out billions of dollars in scholarships, passion generated for the school from activities pushes students to be better in the classroom , and the ncaa is nonprofit so most of the money goes back into colleges.

“ I definitely watch college football on Saturdays.” - Clay Matthews III. This quote has a lot to do with this topic, whether college sports are important to a university or not. This quote is coming from a professional football player, and if he doesn't get enough football playing every sunday, then he must really like watching college football. It brings in tons of money for the university, it helps the student stay busy with watching sports or playing the sports, and it will help them stay out of trouble. It could even help a high school student pick a college they want to go to, by their sports teams. If you were to take away college sports, then the university would be pretty lame with not a lot to do to keep athletes

In the college football league, the last week of the year is held to battle your greatest rivals at war. This year two of the top five teams played each other, both fighting to make it into the top four to ensure a spot in the college football play offs. The number three ranked team, Michigan Wolverines, lost to the number two ranked, Ohio State Buckeyes, in a close matchup that led to a win in double overtime. Neither team did noticeably well in the first half. Once it came down to the final minutes, though, the teams came alive. Both the offences and defenses scored and caused multiple questionable calls by the referees throughout the second half, including the most famous question, did J.T. Barrett get the first down on fourth and one? The

Tailgating is that unique event of sports and leisure tourism. However, the bulk of the research on tailgating overlooks the social aspects of tailgating and focuses on the negatives of tailgating (i.e. Binge drinking) or the cost of tailgating. On the aspect of research on the social dynamics of tailgating little has been done. The intention of this ethnographic research is to understand the social dynamics of how people, tailgaters, interact with one another, whether the tailgaters are for the home or visiting team.
