I can't stand to watch college games where the final score looks like they were playing basketball, not football.

I'm right there with you, I love defensive football. I think it breaks down along the lines of pure/hardcore football fans vs more casual fans. The casual fan - like those at the bars - they want to occasionally look at the game and see something exciting happening.
Those of us who can name the backup guard on the three opposing teams in the division, we tend to like football in any form, and we can appreciate great defense just as much as great offense.
Its just that there are a lot of casual fans out there.
