I imagine the same occurs with college games. No fans in Nippert, so instead there are indoor watch parties in homes, gatherings in bars, etc. We are doing it all backwards.

You have to admit, though, that MAC country is a whole different animal than most other places. I was in a bar in Chickasaw for a Marion Local-St. Henry game once...felt like I was watching OSU-Michigan lol

MAC country, Massillon and Steubenville over on the east side of the state... its all basically the 1980s Tom Cruise movie "All the Right Moves". I have family members in Massillon. You have 50 year old guys still wearing their high school letter jackets around town and the Seniors have banners with their pictures on them affixed to light poles on the main drag in town. In those communities their high school team is the professional team.

That's kind of sad. The same kind of sad when I hear 50+ year old Elder fans talk.
