			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Holy War is nearly upon us. The past two years BYU has bested the University of Utah in their football rivalry, but Ute fans are hoping this year will be different. The two teams will go head to head on Nov. 22 to a sold out crowd in Salt Lake City. Utah, who is 10-0 in the Mountain West division, has a powerhouse defense they hope will be the key to a win over the 10-1 BYU.</p>
<p>The Holy War, which got its name due to both universities&#8217; strong ties to the LDS church, is one of college football’s longest rivalries. The competition between the two teams is so heated neither can agree on when the first Holy War game was fought. Utah contends the first match was in 1896 against then named Brigham Young Academy. BYU sports fans argue the first match didn’t actually happen until 1922. You know its a heated rivalry when the two sides can’t even agree on their first match.</p>
<div>Utah dominated the score board against BYU 39-5 until 1972 when the Cougars started to turn things around. For the next 20 years BYU held a record of 19-2 over the Utes, but in 1994 Utah accomplished something they hadn’t in decades, two consecutive wins over BYU. Since then, the two teams have gone back and forth with their victories, winning both at home and away. In the last two years BYU has won in the closing seconds, much to the delight of Cougar fans and distain of Utes.</div>
<div></div>
<div>This year Utah is banking on their strong defensive line to pull out a win at home. It is the same defense that defeated Michigan in Ann Arbor and OSU at Utah. BYU is not backing down by any means. Quarterback Max Hall will lead the Cougars into battle. He’s accumulated over 3,000 passing yards and 32 touchdowns this season compared to Utah quarterback Brian Johnson who has had only 2,050 yards and 15 touchdowns. Utah will be looking to running back Matt Asiata for their offensive burst. Asiata has carried the ball for nearly 600 yards and 9 touchdowns this season.</div>
<div></div>
<div>If you have not gotten tickets to this year’s Holy War, good luck. The stadium is sold out and scalpers are selling tickets in the hundreds just to get in. The streets of Salt Lake City will be a ghost town on the 22nd but the sports bars and homes with big screen televisions will be packed to the brim.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The best places to watch a college game are those that have enough space for everyone who wants to attend, yet at the same time are crowded enough to provide all the jostling, cheering elbow-to-elbow excitement fans expect.</p>
<p>They should also have a surplus of mouth-watering, cholesterol-spiking edibles like hotdogs, nachos, popcorn, pretzels, etc. And don’t forget the drinks. Beer on tap is the best way to go, especially if the venue lets you double-fist it.</p>
<div>Sports bars are a great place to go if you can’t attend the college game in person. Choose one with comfortable booths that give you full range of all of its televisions (and it should have plenty). Make sure the game of your choice is playing on at least one of those TVs, or request it beforehand. Invite your friends, order some burgers and fries, and prepare to cheer for your favorites.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Another great place to watch a college game is on your living room couch, surrounded by friends, with the barbeque grill working overtime on the patio. Make sure you get the right channels for the games you want to watch, double-check the times, arrange for enough seating for everyone, and divide up the grocery list among everyone who’s coming.</div>
<div></div>
<div>If you are close enough to a sports arena to attend the college game in person and you’ve already scored some tickets, make sure to arrive early enough to find a good parking spot or consider taking public transportation.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Here’s a list in USA Today on January 18, 2008, from author and sports commentator John Feinstein, about the best places to watch college games:</div>
<div></div>
<div>10. Cassell Coliseum (Virginia Tech)</div>
<div></div>
<div>9. O’Connell Center (University of Florida)</div>
<div></div>
<div>8. Mackey Arena (Purdue University)</div>
<div></div>
<div>7. Hart Recreation Center (Holy Cross)</div>
<div></div>
<div>6. University Arena (University of New Mexico)</div>
<div></div>
<div>5. Rose Hill Gym (Fordham University)</div>
<div></div>
<div>4. Pauley Pavilion (UCLA)</div>
<div></div>
<div>3. Allen Fieldhouse (University of Kansas)</div>
<div></div>
<div>2. Cameron Indoor Stadium (Duke University)</div>
<div></div>
<div>1. The Palestra (University of Pennsylvania)</div>
<div></div>
<div>What are your top picks for places to watch a college game?</div>

		<description><![CDATA[College football has had a wacky season. But not as wacky as the people who show up to root their teams on to victory or bitter defeat. I'm talking about fans. In their myriad of forms, they flock to stadiums, bars, or big-screen TVs to scream, shout, curse, sing, or just politely clap. Away from football, they are business professionals, blue collar workers, artists, someone's brother, sister, parent or grandparent. Once under the influence of the gridiron, however, they turn into a rabid mob. At their best, football fans have been known to propel their team to a win. At their worst, fans have been known to break store windows, overturn cars, and get friendly with police in riot gear.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>College football has had a wacky season. But not as wacky as the people who show up to root their teams on to victory or bitter defeat. I&#8217;m talking about fans. In their myriad of forms, they flock to stadiums, bars, or big-screen TVs to scream, shout, curse, sing, or just politely clap. Away from football, they are business professionals, blue collar workers, artists, someone&#8217;s brother, sister, parent or grandparent. Once under the influence of the gridiron, however, they turn into a rabid mob. At their best, football fans have been known to propel their team to a win. At their worst, fans have been known to break store windows, overturn cars, and get friendly with police in riot gear.</strong></p>
<p>College football just wouldn&#8217;t be the same without the fans. In the next few weeks, this unusual season will build to a hopefully exciting climax. To those who will find themselves surrounded by this endearing breed this weekend, I provide this <strong>guide to five types of college football fans:</strong> <img src="http://c1777572.r72.cf0.rackcdn.com/Barbarian.jpg" alt="The Barbarian | Online Degrees" hspace="5" align="right" /></p>
<h2>The Barbarian</h2>
<p>Regardless of their background, the Barbarian forgets all social mores and loses any sense of tolerance once the opening kick-off is airborne. The game is in play, and the Barbarian launches into a four-quarter tirade making full use of every available piece of profanity, defamation, or insult that they can recall under the influence of the 12-pack they consumed before the game.</p>
<p>When words won&#8217;t do, the Barbarian has no qualms about throwing projectiles, anything from paper airplanes to beer cans to themselves, down onto the field at incompetent officials or players. At their most extreme, the Barbarian actually thinks they&#8217;re down on the field.</p>
<p>Because of their aggressive nature, the Barbarian is best observed from a distance, like from the other side of stadium, out of range of their projectiles, spit, or any other potentially dangerous fluids. For the patient, the Barbarian has usually exhausted their venom by the fourth quarter and may leave the game, sit down in a morose stupor, or just collapse in an unconscious pile. Until this happens, give the Barbarian their space for your own safety.</p>
<p><img src="http://c1777572.r72.cf0.rackcdn.com/Sideshow.jpg" alt="The Sideshow | Online Education" hspace="5" align="right" /></p>
<h2>The Sideshow</h2>
<p>For most fans, a pair of jeans and a team sweatshirt is good enough to show their team spirit. But not for the Sideshow. The Sideshow makes their spirit known by stripping their shirt, even in crisp fall weather, and painting their skin. They may also wear costumes, capes, masks, wigs, or, on the opposite extreme, nothing at all. The Sideshow comes to show support and to catch some air time.</p>
<p>Thankfully, the Sideshow is mostly harmless. They&#8217;re at the game to have fun and be gawked at. With their outrageous antics, they can energize an entire section and entertain during lulls in the game. Seeing indecent Sideshows get apprehended and hauled off by police can be a special added bonus. My only caveat: don&#8217;t stand to close to the naked ones.<br />
<img src="http://c1777572.r72.cf0.rackcdn.com/Diehard.jpg" alt="The Devoted | Online Programs" hspace="5" align="right" /></p>
<h2>The Devoted</h2>
<p>For these fans, college football is not mere sport nor is it a way to show school spirit. It goes beyond even personal. No, for the Devoted, their team is their religion. You can make fun of their mom, their spouse, or their country. But if you insult their team in any way, well, you might as well get a passport, change your name, or get used to living in some obscure corner of the world.</p>
<p>The Devoted can be easily recognized by the religious zeal in their eyes when their team wins or their uncontrollable sobs when their team falls. Where most people would have pictures of loved ones, the Devoted has pictures of team members and coaches. Their car is plastered with their team&#8217;s logo.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t bother trying to reach them on game day; their first child could come into the world, their house burn down, and the world perish under a fiery meteor, but the Devoted would still be in the stadium holding out hope for that next touchdown.<br />
<img src="http://c1777572.r72.cf0.rackcdn.com/Gentleman.jpg" alt="The Stiff | Career Resources" hspace="5" align="right" /></p>
<h2>The Stiff</h2>
<p>Were it not for their polite golf clap, you wouldn&#8217;t even know the Stiff was standing next to you. They don&#8217;t shout. They don&#8217;t cheer. They barely smile. They speak in low whispers. When the team scores, the Stiff just softly pats their hands together.</p>
<p>Honestly, the Stiff is an enigma to other fans. Why they come to the game is a mystery, as they don&#8217;t seem be particularly enjoying themselves. One theory goes that the Stiff would actually prefer to sit in a box seat but is unable to acquire one. Another theory is that the Stiff is actually a golf fan who has mistakenly found themselves at a football game. Still another theory says that the Stiff is an alien lifeform doing reconnaissance on earthling rituals and doing a poor job of blending in.</p>
<p><img src="http://c1777572.r72.cf0.rackcdn.com/Fairweather.jpg" alt="The Fairweather | Adult Online Classes" hspace="5" align="right" /></p>
<h2>The Fairweather</h2>
<p>The opposite of the Diehard, the Fairweather is fired up when the team is winning. They come to games and go crazy. They buy the merchandise, brag to their friends, and learn the cheers. But, at the first sign of error in the team&#8217;s performance, the Fairweather is a no-show. The banners and bumper stickers disappear. They do not stick up for their team when naysayers come their way. Often, friends catch them rooting for other teams with better records on the down-low.</p>
<p>For the worst combination possible, get the Fairweather together with the Devoted, and watch the Devoted turn into the Barbarian. Mark my words: <em>keep the Fairweather as far as possible from the Devoted.</em> The Devoted will view the Fairweather as an infidel, a personal affront to their team, and may take drastic measures to yield justice upon them.</p>
