For those of you visiting for the first time, this website is dedicated to my ongoing adventure to continue to see every major FBS football team play in person at least once.  We've seen all 124 in existence (click on  History).  This site is also dedicated to my ongoing adventures  attending as many college football games as possible every season.  I officially started doing this in 1979.  The upcoming 2013 season will be the 34th straight year of sharing these adventures. Entering 2013, I have attended 438 NCAA football games at all levels. My first book  Tales from the Tailgate: From the Fan who's seen 'em all! published in 2011 tells the story over 30 years of when I saw each team play in person for the first time.  To check on my profile, read reviews of my book, or to order online click here on Amazon.com or on the picture of the cover below.  I'm proud to say Tales, a fun adventure to do and to write about, received an Honorable Mention Award from the 2012 New England Book Festival in Boston this past January.  A second edition will come out later this year with new chapters featuring the last four schools that joined the FBS last season.  Also, a second book is in the works which will feature memorable games attended at every level of college football.  It will be as entertaining, fun, and insightful as the first one.  Check here frequently for updates about the books and about the upcoming season. Keep up with our Schedule and by reading Steveo's Salvos!

 

"Tales" received an Honorable Mention from the 2012 New England Book Festival

in the General non-fiction category  held at the Omni Parker Hotel in Boston on January 19!

On Oct. 27, 2007, CollegeFootballFan.com completed The Goal! when we saw Idaho* (#118) visit Nevada-Reno* (#119).On Sept, 5, 2009, we maintained our record for this passion by adding  Western Kentucky, newest FBS team, as our #120 against Tennessee in our first visit to Neyland Stadium.

 

We opened 2012 with South Alabama (in red) hosting Texas - San Antonio

in Mobile, Alabama as two new teams now competing at the FBS level.

     To start 2012, we watched the UT San Antonio Roadrunners defeat the South Alabama Jaguars in Mobile, Alabama, 33-31. On September 8 at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts, we saw the Massachusetts Minutemen host the Indiana Hoosiers in their first home game at the FBS level. They got drubbed, 45-6, as they became our 123rd team. On November 17, we added the Texas State Bobcats into the fold at Navy where they fell to the Mids, 21-10. We've once again attained   our goal: "To see 'em all!"  We have now seen all 124 FBS teams play at least once.  Let us know if anyone else  has done this that you know of!  An updated second edition of Tale's is in the works to add these four new schools to our story to 'see 'em all!  Old Dominion, Georgia State, and Charlotte will be going through their transitional seasons and climbing into the FBS fray.  We will be plotting our plan to keep up at 127 teams.

Every college football fan should see a game at West Point!

     Though The Goal! is to "See 'em all", the best possible match-ups are sought for good, competitive games, even among the weaklings.   2003 was the epitome of a great season!  We traveled from Jersey last season to Louisiana not to see LSU, but to watch the "pillow-fight" of the week between 0-6 UL-Monroe and 0-6 UL-Lafayette.  It turned out to be a 45-42 thriller!  Review CFF.com's History to get a taste for what The Goal!  is all about.
