......you make the effort and take your family and friends to a local DII or DIII game. UIU, Loras, Wartburg, Dubuque, Coe, Simpson, Central, Cornell, Grinnell, Grand View, Buena Vista, St. Ambrose, Penn, Luther, Northwestern, UW-Platteville, etc, etc, etc, if they're in town. Does Maharishi Institute have a team?
DII and III games a tremendous places for families. Smaller crowds, cheaper tix and cheaper concessions and the same great game of football. Kids can run around without getting lost, most places have tailgating scenes that are desirable for their quaintness (check ahead, first, though, for their policies. Some of the Jesus-based places may frown on alcohol and nudity).
Friendly people and the guys playing are not playing for the same things as at Iowa, Iowa State or even UNI - it's for the love of the game, primarily. Same hard-hitting, same bombs and long runs and interceptions and sacks, etc.
I see UIU and Coe are at home, Loras is taking on crosstowner U Dubuque and Wheaton College is at UW Platteville.
Go to a small college game and put things into perspective about football!!!
BTW, Cap'n Cat is going to either Minnesota State-Mankato at Winona State or Southwest Minnesota State at Bemidji State.
