I keep hearing that people on the left coast aren't into football because there's so much to do out there. From my perspective, I don't think it has much to do with having much to do.
I've lived all over: Ohio, Texas, Arizona, California, Virginia, Maryland and Florida. I've visited many other places, some of them dozens of times. From that perspective, there is very little correlation between how much there is to do and how much interest there is in football.
When it comes to having other things to do on weekends, where I live now (Northern Florida) isn't hurting for options. Most of the guys I know either go golfing, saltwater fishing or bass fishing on every weekend. All 3 of those activities are available to people in this area well into November. But those activities are typically engaged in only until late August.
On September 4th this year, the same thing will happen that happens every Saturday Morning of every autumn around here. The boats will be cleaned and tarped; and every lawnmower in the neighborhood will start at around 9am. Then, at 9:29 am, 1 minute before Herbstreit and friends start talking about football, every lawnmower in the neighborhood will get shut off, whether the lawn is done or not.
I've lived in Southern California. Come September, I can assure you that people who are at home in SoCal on Saturday mornings are NOT watching football. Now that USC is going to suck for the next 5 years (minimum), most of them won't even be aware that it's football season
