My wife will watch a good bit of a Bama game, and will even watch portions of other games. She used to hate football and wanted nothing to do with it - until our boys started playing. Son number one was a safety, KO/Punt returner and WR, so he was easy to spot on the field. Son number two (junior in HS) has been a fullback and LB/safety over his seven years of playing, so he's been in the scrum a bit more and her blood sport instincts have kicked in. Son number three (now ten) plays QB and safety.
Our high school coaches put on a one day clinic each year for the Mom's auxiliary of our booster club. It's pretty informational. Some of the moms (not my wife) attend the weekly film breakdown the varsity coaches put on for the dads at our local restaurant sponsors. Personally, I've learned more about breaking down film over the last two years than I have over my whole life.
RTR,
