slo’s MONDAY 9/18 poll - 2023 Football Season

[slo]

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!?!

Who’s excited that the 2023 football season has begun?
If you watch football, what level of football do you enjoy watching?
(multiple choice)



For Me…..I am not a football fan at all What inspired me to do this poll, is my DH watching the Bears/Tampa Bay game yesterday and participating in the yearly Fantasy Football league my neighbor runs every year. After each game, the guys participate in a group text and my DH’s phone goes crazy. It’s fun watching them have fun. My DH only watches pro football. My DD20 loves watching college and pro football (college more).

Nope - not a football fan and I don’t track with it at all. A quick scan of the sports page on my news feed informs me the CFL (Canadian football) is in full-swing. Who knew? I am, however, counting the days until basketball tips off. It’s been a looong golf season for my beloved Toronto Raptors.

I voted as excited about it. I don't really watch much of it myself, but it seems like fun. DH follows every level from HS to pro. I am usually in and out of the room when it is on TV. I did see some of yesterday's game. It was fun seeing the Colts win their first (and possibly only) win this year.

 

[bobbiwoz]

We follow Notre Dame and Philadelphia Eagles.

I like football especially at the collegiate level. Even tho I'm in the Big Ten area I like to root for the SEC teams.

Love it! I’m an Indianapolis Colts and Indiana University fan, but we have football on the tv all day Saturday and Sunday.

 

[jalapeno_pretzel]

Don't watch it in any form, don't like it at all, don't understand the obsession with watching people accumulate TBIs. No one in my family has any interest in it.

 

[MamaMermaid]

Not a sports girlie! Hope the cutest team mascot wins

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

I like professional football and watch our local NFL team and I watch the team games of the college my kids both attend.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Nope not my sport ! Only watch Super Bowl for the commercials otherwise not interested but enjoy your season !!

 

[E&Cmom]

Not a football or really any Sport Fan.

 

[Southernmiss]

Pro and college- we have teams we follow.

High school- for the marching bands! So much work to put on a show! Several kids in our family have been/are band kids.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

Not a football fan so I don't watch much of it. I'd rather watch a baseball or hockey game.

 

[Meriweather]

Not a fan of football. I don't watch it or talk about it.
Both kids are into it and go to local places to watch games.

Seattle Seahawks for both of them and Washington State Cougars for DD.

 

[Minnesota!]

We are HUGE fans in our house. Multiple, multiple, multiple fantasy teams. Lots of streaming services at home and on phones so NO game is missed. It is pretty much a holiday every Thurs, Sun, Mon in our house from August - Feb. Love it!

ETA - we started watching collegiate in the last 2 years, too, but this is the first year we actually sit down and intentionally watch it on Saturdays, if time allows. And, we follow local high school ball, too.

 

[soccerdad72]

If I'm home when there's games on, I usually will watch whatever pro and college games are playing.

 

[jimmymc]

I'm a big fan of college and a casual NFL fan. In the past, I would sit down and watch football all Saturday, but I swear the commercials have gotten worse, so now I'll only watch a few select games each weekend.

 

[fly girl]

Yes, this house enjoys football, collegiate and pro. Even though our teams (Michigan State, Arizona State, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh Steelers) aren't starting off well.

Dh and dd both are in fantasy football leagues. I used to be, but I realized I just enjoyed watching my teams, and not particular players.

 

[mamamary]

I’m ok with watching it but if it wasn’t for my husband I probably wouldn’t watch at all.

 

[design_mom]

I don't care for football, so I don't watch. Thankfully, neither does my husband.

My daughter was in the high school marching band (and so was my nephew, only one year overlap), so I sat through 7-years of high school football games to watch the half-time and post-game shows.

I kind of "follow" our local college team because most of the city are HUGE fans... and whether they win/lose dictates how crabby people will be that week. Thankfully, it seems to be not-quite-as-bad-as-it-used-to-be.
