How and when did you become a college football fan? Who introduced you to college football? Your dad? An uncle? Who? Or did you just pick it up on your own? And was it a game in person? Watching it on tv?
I was a college football fan before I was an Alabama fan. (I didn't grow up in Alabama.) As a kid in Florida, I went to a couple of games in Miami involving my parents' alma maters, AU and Georgia Tech. Went to a couple of games in the Astrodome when we lived in Houston and in HS went to East Lansing from Illinois to watch GT play MSU. Watched some of the limited number of TV games back then, and remember some bowl games. I didn't really become an Alabama fan until I arrived as a freshman in August 1973. Listened to the first game on the radio (UA 66, Cal 0 in Birmingham) and I was hooked for life. Even met my wife in Legion Field in 1978.
