I understand that this study has concluded that phones take over our attention spans, but aren’t we all still kind of being jerks when we choose to text instead of being engaged in the face-to-face interaction?
Any advice for proper etiquette for girls when meeting the pros? I’m terrible at it. I saw Kevin Durant at a New Year’s party a couple years back and went 100% crazy fangirl. I’m open to virtually any alternative to that reaction (other than flashing them).
It’s definitely a slippery slope, and I think largely depends on level of fandom and dedication to a team. For instance, I couldn’t even be cool when a guy took me to a Seahawks bar for MNF (even after I told him this was a bad idea), and the Seahawks are not technically even a “rival” of any of my teams, I just fucking hate them. To each their own, and I know college is different because everyone roots for and loves their alma mater; but for as many Purdue fan friends as I have, pretty sure I could never, ever make it work.
To be clear, I love Peyton and it made me really sad that no girls reacted even close to the way I would have. I would have been like that dude he told to start running laps, no hesitation.
Difference in age should never even come close – much less surpass – the actual age of either party. Yikes. And don’t even get me started on dated-a-56-year-old girl below, I’m pretending I never read that and therefore it never happened

I’m a little sad to find out that the males are aware of how Girls’ Nights actually work…
Andrew Luck is certainly doing his part to give Colts fans a drinking problem. Aptly ranked at just below the top 5 teams percentage-wise.

Michigan and Michigan State can usually tolerate each other pretty well though, because Michigan is too preoccupied with the Ohio State rivalry…no?
Preach girl. Agree on all points except the pink hats – they are not to be trusted and damage the reputations of all true female fans…

I see what you did there.

Motion to burn all pink jerseys…
I hate the Patriots, but I lost it when I read that one. Sheer brilliance.

Kliff Kingsbury added to the reasons I’m glad I moved closer to Texas – more Tech games on regular TV down here than up north.
I already loved college football from the get-go – he’s just an extra perk…
I do wonder how many people got seriously screwed with the losses of both Peterson and Rice this season. It definitely shook things up in my league

Please do not confuse this utterly illogical column with actual feminism.
Atlas Shrugged.
I found it somewhat realistic because it appeared that only one girl recognized Peyton…
