About this title

About the Author:

From 1979 through 2010, Steve Koreivo attended 402 NCAA college football games seeing teams from all four divisions play. In 2000, he put togehter a history of all the games he's seen and realized that he'd seem more that half of all the Division 1A (now Football Bowl Subdivison) teams play at least once. He wondered if anyone else had already seen all 117 teams at the time play in person. Whether or not someone had, and despite having a wife, two kids, and a career to support them, he set out to do it. He kept track of "The Goal" which he monitored throughout the year on his website www.collegefootballfan.com. On Halloween weekend 2007 in Reno, Nevada, he completed his quest watching the Idaho Vandals visit the Wolfpack of Nevada. In 2009, he kept pace to "see 'em all" watching the newest FBS team, Western Kentucky, visit the Tennessee Vols at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville.
He continues to add more new FBS teams as they join the division while he continues to basically attend a college game somewhere every weekend. He'll be a little more challenged to do this during the next few years as his son will play high school football in his junior and senior years.
Koreivo is married to his wife Laurie for 22 years. Though she is not a great college football, dhe has admiringly tolerated his endeavor which is prominently brought on in several chapters of his book, "Tales from the Tailgate: from the fan who's seen 'em all." His daughter Alex will be entering the University of South Carolina in the fall of 2011 as a freshman, and his son Eric will be entering his junior year at Lenape Valley High School. The family resides in Byram Township, NJ.
