If it weren’t for fans, there would be no television or college football mania. Fan support is the first step in building a program which is attractive to the television networks whose influence is as dominant as Herschel Walker was on the toss sweep.
Fans are exposed to unlimited facts and figures, which lead to confidence that they really know football, which they don’t. They don’t watch hours of videotape during the spring and summer. They don’t understand the nuances of the game that are second nature to a coach with a devoted football mind.
Coaches put in countless hours and are not turned off by the tedium that comes with 80-hour work weeks.
