Most of my college football knowledge during the early 2000's came from the public computers at Mirror Lake Café on campus.
In the absence of a desire to do anything productive in between classes, I would usually grab some kind of toasted submarine sandwich, and then set up shop in front of one of a line of yellowing CRT monitored computers hooked up to a 64kbps speed internet connection. This was usually just enough to load two or three articles before I started getting angry stares from the guy waiting behind me to look at boobs on CollegeHumor.
