Is football just a game? Hunter S Thompson knew the answer. He entitled his suicide note “Football Season is Over” and shot himself on the first game day without football in 2005. He was talking pro football — the passion is actually much deeper in the college ranks, where church deacons on occasion rip the t*sticles off opposing fans in bars.
And college football is back! For the season, I’ll be writing Game-Day Planners for the world’s greatest TV show, ESPN’s College Game Day. The goal is treat towns like South Bend, College Station, Norman and Tuscaloosa as not just a site for gridiron, but as worthy destinations in their own right. The first up is an easy sell, Atlanta — a neutral site for Alabama and Virginia Tide this Saturday. My tips for game-day experience is on ESPN’s College Game Day site, the following suggests one alternative for the full weekend.
Meanwhile, if you have contrary views — or care to say that ACC towns are better tourist destinations than SEC ones, check out the new “College Football Is My Life” group on Lonely Planet.
