Yeah I don't get it.
Depends on who you ask really. I pretty much watch football all weekend if that says anything, but I'm just a big fan and leave it at that. It's not like I hate people that root for the other team, and obviously there are some people that take it that far.
OSU vs UM is going to be crucial and probably the biggest regular season college football game in history. #1 v #2, final regular season game of the year with an outright big 10 title and national championship birth at stake. I'm not sure there has ever been a 'bigger' game, and the fact that it's between the biggest rivalry in the game makes it even better. Hence, the buildup...

I guess they have a point, but IMO, it's not that ridiculous. My first two years of college I would always go to the common room of my dorm on Sunday to watch the NFL and during the spring to watch the NBA playoffs. There were some other sports fans there too, I got to know them and they ended up being some of my best friends in college. Being a sports fan gives people something to talk about and a way to connect with each other, and yes it's not that important in the grand scheme of things, but it's given me a lot of fun experiences that I wouldn't trade for anything.
soccer fans in europe are real fans

Is it important to watch a football game? probly not.
Is it something I like to do? Hell yeah.
Hockey is ok, I used to go to the Whalers games when they were in CT.
Now I go to the Wolf Pack games (AHL)
My son loves going to the Hockey games, He's 5
I've been to a few Football games, and I like to watch them on TV instead, you get to see the replays over and over.
I'd rather go to a Hockey game, than watch it on TV
you don't see this in Hockey!

I was never into football. It just doesn't seem like that interesting a sport to me. I always end up bored, especially since it takes fucking forever just to get through a few seconds of the actual game on TV. Also maybe it's just that I don't know much about it, but it seems the vast majority of coaches are pretty bad strategists, and tend towards playing way too weak/tight.
Now Roller Derby -- that's a sport:
