So you couldn't score a wildly expensive ticket to Monday's College Football Playoff National Championship game between the Miami Hurricanes and Indiana Hoosiers. Well, you're not alone, and so what? There are still plenty of ways to cheer on the home team, which last won a national title in 2002, at official CFP events and watch parties popping up at bars, clubs and restaurants throughout South Florida.

"Remember what I said about the monologue!" emcee Mary Michael shouted into the microphone as professional hockey player Ilya Rozanov ( Connor Storrie) started to confess his affection to his Canadian rival and paramour, Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams). "I have no one now," Connor says in Russian over the phone; Shane can't understand but listens regardless. "Well, not no one. I have Svetlana. She loves me and I love her, but not like ... not like I love you," Ilya says. Inside Boyfriend Co-op, hands covered mouths and a few patrons looked up at the ceiling, either wishing away or summoning tears.

But when New York shockingly won the Super Bowl in 2007 against the then-undefeated New England Patriots, Singh became a hardcore fan. He attended his first game a few years later at the old Giants Stadium, just before it closed, and has been a season-ticket holder since 2021. He even dons a Giants-themed Turban, which he's received an abundance of support for, he said.
