[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 700360, member: 1191"] I remember in 2015, in the midst of our losing streak, getting to a point where I was tempted to just watch the games on TV. I took my wife to the FSU game and we made a weekend out of it. Walking up to the stadium that night, I had an FSU fan offer me almost three times face value for my two tickets. My wife, not a huge football fan to begin with, told me I should consider selling the tickets, and we could go do something else like sit at a bar and watch the game. I, of course, was not about to sell my tickets to opposing fans. As the game went on, my wife was drawn more and more into the electric atmosphere of that night. On Fourth and Stewart, she erupted louder than anyone near us. When the Miracle on Techwood Drive occurred, she was jumping up and down and yelling as loud as anyone there. Normally, she's ready to leave as soon as the game was over, but that night, she wanted to stay and soak up the atmosphere. She looked at me and said she was grateful I didn't sell the tickets. You see, that's the atmosphere you don't get from watching on TV. Sure, you can yell and scream at home, but there is an electricity in the air at games that's contagious. I love my TV, but I wouldn't trade it for a live game unless I become physically unable to make it to the games. [/QUOTE]
