In Auraria campus the love for football is high and the passion for political activism is present. Despite the drastic difference in subject matter most students felt that both broadcasts were a source of entertainment. A member from a registration group on campus said, “The debate didn’t really change anyone’s mind. It just reinforced who we were planning on voting for.”

An undecided voter on campus said that she watched the debate instead of the game. She expressed her disinterest in politics in general, and said that the debate did not sway her one way or another. “It was quite the show, for sure. I just wish we had better candidates to choose from.”
