Good morning, Live Better than a Billionaire-a-Holics!
Are you feeling motivated this morning? I certainly hope so. I know that I am!
Let's think about all those poor billionaires out there who don't take time to enjoy the many joys of the college football season. Some are chasing the next big deal . . . stuck in an airplane (although it may be a luxury plane) while the kick off starts. Others are meeting with lawyers to sort out their latest divorce. Perhaps one or two are off on an exotic trip to a place where there is no college football. Some want to go to the games, but the insurance companies that guard them against kidnapping won't allow it. It's just tough to be a billionaire and enjoy college football.
But you don't have that problem. Let's look at how you can go for it all!
1. BUY SEASON TICKETS to all the home and away games for your favorite team. If you don't have a favorite team, it's time to find one whose games are convenient and where tickets can be obtained.
2. BUY A TAILGATE PASS FOR NEAR THE STADIUM. Tailgating is an important part of the fun. Put up a sign that will attract others. One of my college classmates puts up our class banner and holds a mini-reunion on the spot.
3. SIGN UP FOR THE COACH'S TALKS. Sometime during the week, most coaches offer a dinner for the players and fans where the coach talks about the team and its prospects.
4. GO TO A BOWL GAME. I favor the Rose Bowl because the weather is usually great, the site is beautiful and you can go to the Rose Parade before the game.
5. GO TO A GAME FOR A TOP TEAM YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IN PERSON BEFORE. Can you imagine how much fun it must be to see the Fighting Irish and enjoy all those great fans?
6. VISIT THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME. It's in South Bend, Indiana (speaking of the Irish), and there are regular events you can plan to attend. See http://www.collegefootball.org/event.php/.
7. LISTEN TO YOUR FAVORITE COLLEGE FOOTBALL FIGHT SONGS. You can download almost any song you like in MP3 format from http://fightsongs.com/.
8. BUY AND ENJOY ESPN'S COLLEGE FOOTBALL ENCYCLOPEDIA. It has all the facts you can't remember on your own. To purchase on-line go to: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1401337031/104-5889592-2919129?v=glance
9. KEEP TRACK OF PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS BETWEEN YOUR FAVORITE PLAYERS AND TEAMS. Here's a good site for that:

10. PLAY COLLEGE FOOTBALL VIDEO GAMES.

And here's a college video game tournament you can enter. The winner will attend the Heisman Trophy dinner. Pretty nice!
