If you play it yeah, I'd say you can be obsessed, but have are town, would stop dead just for a football of basket ball game. Sure, they are fun sometimes, but when everyone is like you MUST go or your so horrible and have no pride for your school.

Hows about this, go visit Columbus, Ohio one Saturday this fall and then tell me our town is obsessed with sports. There is no way that over 80% of this town watches a Tiger Football/Basketball game everytime it's played, its not even televised. In reality it's more like 10-15%. If you want a town that has over 80% of its populace obsessed with a sport you're not going to find any at the High School level.
