not just college football, it is the sports culture we've created. You either win it all or you suck that is the mentality. in fact now, it is not just win it all, it is win it all IMMEDIATELY or you suck.

Well we hear it all the time on this board.

Like, Pac12 is irrelevant.

Going to the Rose Bowl is now irrelevant? That's a pretty nice consolation prize for the Pac12 champ.

It’s not a popular thought on the MSB but that’s why I started enjoying having access to more soccer matches through streaming. Found it pretty cool how so many of the smaller clubs would be packed at near capacity every week with passionate fans.

They knew they aren’t going to win shite in the grand scheme of things but were there to hopefully win THAT day. Enjoyed the sport for the sport and had great passion for their club regardless of how big it was.
