How much of your attention goes out the window for CFB once LSU isn't in contention?

One thing I hate is I've lost a lot of love for the game and instead just live and die with my team only.

Meaning, when I was a kid, I'd root for LSU hard but I still enjoyed every aspect of CFB and followed the national scene religiously despite how we were doing.

It's amazing how little interest I have for it all once it feels like our hopes for a title are gone.

Of course I'm still gonna watch but now it's just about rooting against some teams I really don't wanna see win it all.

Weird rant, I know. But it's just occurred to me how much I've fallen out of love with CFB as a whole, and really don't care for much beyond LSU football.

I still watch the big games but honestly most of my attention is moving onto basketball

I bet you leave early when we are losing games too.

I’m usually eyes glued to the tv for every LSU game, but two years ago after A&M loss I didn’t care or watch in entirety and last year after the Vandy loss I barely watched at all. I won’t be watching this weekend.

same. I don't give a shite about any other team especially SEC.

Back in the day, I would plan around me being able to watch LSU games. Today, if I happen to be available to watch, I will.

One of the reasons I lose interest is because next season a bunch of players wont be on the team anymore. So you cant get excited to say well we will see how this freshman or sophomore will develop in the system this year and possibly become the starter next year.

Even in its current state with NIL, portal, etc., it's still the greatest sport out there.

Outside of LSU games (including away game to most SEC venues), we have been to Iowa and waved to the children's hospital, USC at Notre Dame, Virginia Tech (Enter Sandman), White-out at Penn State, the Shoe, Big House and the sea of red in Nebraska. Friggen love it.

I take losses like Saturday tough…so I came home from game and watched no football the rest of the night. The loss will take a few days to get out of my system then will move on to the next week.

I still love College Football, so I'll watch the games with no issue. I enjoyed the weekend outside of the LSU game last Saturday. I'll enjoy the playoffs too as long as there are good games. There will teams I will root against like always but I don't have any issue watching the sport.

Now its not the same as it was back in the early 2000's but its still right up there. Now I definitely like LSU baseball more than LSU football right now but College Football is still number 1 overall.
