This is a great story:

A College Football Fan’s All-Attending Passion

Steve Koreivo passed up an opportunity to see Ohio State play at Penn State last October because he had tickets to a college football game of greater significance: Idaho at Nevada.

“Now that might sound crazy,” said Koreivo, 51, who lives in Stanhope, N.J. “But those were the last two teams left for me to see.”

By watching the Vandals and the Wolf Pack, Koreivo accomplished a mission that took 32 years to complete. He has watched each of the 119 college football teams in the Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A) play in person at least once. Koreivo plans to see Western Kentucky in 2009 when it becomes the 120th full member. His endeavor is documented on his Web site, collegefootballfan.com.

The interesting angle the NY Times doesn't share there, is that he saw all but two of the games with the Loch Ness Monster next to him.

By the Loch Ness Monster, do you mean a woman who would put up with all of that and the fact that she probably doesn't exist?

You mean we've been sending submarines, submersibles, and all manners of diving teams down to the bottom of that frigid lake and that damned thing has been tailgating with you guys all these years? Why, I oughta...
