Slow year for Cap'n Cat in football attendance. Only made it to four college games this season. Left one before it even started.

Took the kittens and a mountain of tailgating gear to a UW-La Crosse game, started unloading all my stuff when a campus cop pulls up and tells me you can't have a grill at their tailgate lot. WTF? We left and went fishing, instead.

Saw SW MNState lose @ Winona State.

Saw UNI dismantle YSU.

Saw UNI lose to ILSU.

Slow year.

Went to Chadron Nebraska in August for D-2 opening weekend, Chadron State over U. of Mary from Bismarck ND.

Next, we stole up north to witness the showdown for the Big Sky lead, and watched Montana dominate Weber State.

Lastly, it was Laramie Wyoming for the ill fated mismatch between Wyoming and TCU, and perhaps I got to see the best college football team in all of college football in live action.

Kind of lame for us as well, but I did have limited time on my hands this fall.

ASU/Samford in Boone
ASU/El Cid in Charleston
ASU/Wofford in Spartanburg
ASU/Furman in Greenville (Traveler's Rest, OL FU )
ASU/SC State in Boone

Pretty good year for me.

I went to three regular season games:

UMass at Delaware
UMass at Richmond
Montana at NAU

And one playoff game:

Weber at W&M

About average for me...

Liberty at Lafayette
Fordham at Lafayette
Colgate at Lafayete
Lafayette at Lehigh

I live 15 minutes from Lafayette and 5 minutes from Lehigh so I have no excuse not to go to several games. I usually get to at least one Lehigh game a year when Lafayette is out of town.

Coastal Carolina @ Towson
New Hampshire @ Towson(left at halfime after meeting UNH_fan_in_conn)
Richmond @ Towson
Villanova @ Towson

Usual year for me. Made 13 of W&M's 14 games (missed only @URI). Also made the Campbell@ODU game.

Only one: Montana @ NAU

Pretty weak year for me.

ASU at ECU
McNeese at ASU
SC State at ASU

Most years I make it up to Newark to catch a game with my dad. Couldn't make it happen this year, though.

ASU @ ECU
ASU vs. Samford
ASU vs. NCCU
ASU vs. GSU
ASU vs. UTC
ASU vs. WCU
ASU vs. SCSU
ASU @ UR

Didn't make any regular season away games other than ECU. Disappointing, but didn't have much of a choice this year.

I usually get to go to some other schools' games, but didn't this year either.

Saw three (about average for me): Delaware at William & Mary, Harvard at Lehigh, and Furman at Georgia Southern.

Only made 5 games total in 2009:

August 29, Mars Hill at North Greenville

September 12, Gardner-Webb at Western Carolina

October 17 The Citadel at Western Carolina

October 24 Wofford at Western Carolina

November 21 Western Carolina at Appalachian State

Oregon @ BSU - missed the fight dammit, I was walking down the exit ramp
Cal Poly @ UM
WSU @ UM
UM @ ISU
Mt St @ WSU
TCU @ BYU
Utah @ BYU
UM vs Nova @ Chatty

All 6 UNI homegames plus the UNI game at Iowa

Appalachian State - McNeese 9/12/09
Tennessee - Georgia 10/10/09
Appalachian State - Georgia Southern 10/24/09
Appalachian State - Furman 10/31/09
Richmond - William and Mary 11/21/09
Appalachian State - South Carolina State 11/28/09
Appalachian State - Richmond 12/5/09

All of LU's home games, and LU @ GW.

Only made it to two games this year, but one of them was the greatest game I've ever seen:

UM 61, SDSU 48, in the most amazing comeback in playoff history.

My Griz just lost the championship game, we lost our coach, and yet the thought of that game still brings a huge grin to my face!

TXST/Angelo State
TXST/TCU
TXST/TSU
TXST/SELA
TXST/SFA
TXST/McNeese
TXST/SAM

And went to watch Party for TXST/UCA. No way I'm going to Arkansas. (500+ miles)
Utah is just out.

Work schedule and $$ keep me from Louisiana games or I would go.
NWS - 324 miles
NSU - 478 miles
I only get 1 day off for games unless I request way in advance and I had put in for the TCU game.
Can't afford more than 1 overnight anymore anyway

Made:

Montana @ NAU
SFA @ Montana
Montana vs. Villanova in the Chipper


Banner year, considering my usual year is just the Griz/NAU game....

WOU @ EWU
UNC @ EWU
EWU @ UM
MSU @ EWU

Oh, and Denver Broncos @ Seattle, preseason.

Western State@Montana
Portland State@Montana
Cal Poly@Montana
Eastern Washington@Montana
Weber State@Montana
Northern Colorado@Montana
Montana@Montana State
South Dakota State@Montana
Stephen F Austin@Montana
App State@Montana

Was supposed to go to Dixie State@Montana State and Montana@Idaho State, but other parties bailed on me

Hmmm, a lot of folks on BCF diss those of us who can't make every damn game as being fair-weather or not true fans. So far, from seeing all who have posted here I think I did ok this year. Next year may be a bit worse because we'll only have 5 home games.

Slow year for me only made one Southern game (vs. PVU), also went to USF vs. Wofford, Florida Classic, ACC Championship Game and St. Pete Bowl

Only one, I'm afraid. Living 800 miles from campus puts a damper on things, especially when my weekends are usually packed.

I did make it to ODU at Jacksonville, which saw a number of firsts for the Monarchs. First road trip, first FCS opponent, and first come from behind victory. It was 113 degrees on the field that day, and if you know Jacksonville you sit right along the field on hot metal bleachers. My wife bought me a large snow cone and I quickly drank the juice, then took off my cap and poured the ice into it and put it back on. I had orange drips running down my head the rest of the afternoon.

I caught the rest of the season on computer. Maybe next season I can actually use my season seats. They are very good seats, or so I've been told.
