I love everything about college football. The week long excitement before the game, passing people driving to the game with team flags on their car windows, the sea of motor homes and tail gate tents, the bands and pregame pageantry, the traditions, and of course the game itself.

A few years back, Stephen Fry traveled the US to make a series of documentaries for English television. One of his stops was Auburn, Alabama for the Iron Bowl. He is astonished and quite amused by what he sees, but eventually sheds a tear from all the beauty of the pregame atmosphere.

Dude, I know this was on here several years ago, but some things deserve being reposted. Get over yourself. It's a cool outsiders view of college football.

Whoa breh, take a chill pill. And thanks for posting. Honestly, wish he would have done an entire series JUST about CFB.

We take a lot of things for granted. It really puts things in perspective from an outsiders view.
