When you are an avid football writer, you of course must first watch the game you intend to talk about. That’s just the given rule. But doing so overseas is sometimes either difficult or just downright entertaining.
Such is the case when you watch American college football in Australia.
The Aussies are fans of this type of football, though they’ll claim it’s inferior to rugby. They enjoy watching our games and doing so doesn’t present too much of a hardship for them.
While a lot of the US will watch Alabama take on Oklahoma at either the seven or eight pm timeslot on a Saturday night, December 29th to be exact, I’ll be watching it live on Sunday morning at 11:30 in the morning.
