Half joking, half serious, sports gaming wasn't legal in your area until recently, so it shouldn't count for keeping those games on Saturday. Living in Vegas, I know too many people sweating that kind of nonsense all the time...
I'd rather watch professional football all day long, where the games aren't constantly 7-60 blowouts watching kids get embarrassed for the cash benefit of the university. College ball is basically either watching the school you went to, waiting for an upset game, or praying the scheduling gods managed to put two talented teams together that haven't lost yet.
College is even worse with that one loss killing you. I don't know how to get amped for a team making the Orange Bowl outside of the championship... why?
