Two important college football games took place this weekend. One of them saw a team punch its ticket to the College Football Playoff and the other saw a team lose on a last-second field goal to wrap up its lackluster 4-8 season.

I haven’t missed a home football game in my two years at Notre Dame, nor have I left any games early. I’m a fiercely loyal sports fan who loves Notre Dame football. Nevertheless, last November game days felt like a bit of a hassle. To be fair, I neither drink nor particularly enjoy tailgating, and
