All I have read on this site for the past 2 weeks is negative threads about UM football, and frankly I am tired of it.
So rather than start another thread about the same tired topic, lets find the silver linings to being a fan of a mediocre (my word, don’t change it) college football team. I’ll start the list but feel free to contribute. And remember, only positives.
Not caring about college football as much means you have:
1. More time to get to know your significant other and/or kids.
2. Time to take up a new hobby; consider; golf, needle point, origami, chess, alcohol
3. very little emotional letdown after a loss unlike when your team has actual expectations of being good and loses. Consider how much the 2002 Fiesta Bowl loss hurt compared to the Alabama loss.
4. you can criticize people for caring too much about sports and not having their priorities in order (reference #1 when making this point to a friend)
5. You can focus more on your school’s academic ranking, unless of course you are USC and you lose to Stanford.
6. You feel better when a coach who makes $3-5 million a year loses a job, and as a bonus you can argue that coaches are all overpaid for doing nothing more than coaching a game. Crazy, right?
7. You can watch other teams play and scout the next coach
8. There is always next year.
Those are just my top reasons. Please contribute but remember to keep it positive.
