Hi reddit. I rope my wife, who is a PM at a tech company, into doing this with me every week. It takes about an hour and her fee is hugs and dinner dates.
I try to catch as many contender matchups as possible, skipping through garbage time when I can. I usually make a plan, but priorities like which game is on the main screen shift depending on close finishes, blowouts, or breaking storylines. I found if I don’t do it like this, my ADHD brain just jumps all over the place.
So am I crazy or does anyone else plan their college football weekends like this (we only get 12~ a year)?
Are there any games you are planning to watch that might not be on my radar but would still be worth tracking for someone trying to have a sharp perspective on college football?
