    The Blackout Diaries celebrates the start of college football! CJ and Sean talk about how college football tailgating parties are the some of the funnest, most-wild, yet somehow must-inclusive parties on earth. We share some stats on how allowing alcohol sales inside college stadiums has not lead to more binge drinking, along with some of our own stories about attending college games. And we close it out with a story by the hilarious Colby Dant of The Sports Gambling Podcast, on how he got banned from the Rose Bowl because cheering for the home team is illegal on the west coast.
