I met a Michigan fan at my Son's soccer game Saturday morning.
She asked how "we" were doing this season and went on to lament how her team has been of late.
I think I impressed her with my name recognition of some of the players she went to school with in the late '80s?, but the one thing that stood out to me (In my Nebraska T-shirt) was her saying she stopped wearing any UM stuff while the team is doing so poorly.
Seems to me, that's when your team needs you the most.
I tried to think of something nice to say about Mechicken even though recently, being married to a Buckeye, I'm 'sposed to hate them more than I already do..I told her, " Wolverine fans and Penn State fans are the main reason I'm against a playoff..It's just too much fun arguing with them about who was really the best team in '94 or '97.
I'm probably the last one that should give anyone a hard time for leaving a game early...
I've been avoiding even going to games due to our losing more times than not when I do go..In fact, the very 1st game I ever went to was tha last time we lost at home to Missouri in '78? the game "after Osborne finally beat Switzer..or finally won a "big one".....We probably haven't won a game I've been to since I had student season tickets!..Lost to FSU for the 1st time my Freshman year. <_<
That being said, I get so starved for Husker Football, I'd want to drink it all in..Even watch the 4th string kid from the next town over from where I grew up, just to be able to say I saw his 1st action.
It's hard to live vicariously through these guys and not feel like you're part of the team..Can you imagine your coach not getting mad at you if you wanted to hit the showers early so you wouldn't have to fight traffic or so you can get a head start on your after game parties?
I can't even seem to leave a movie theater until the credits are done, to see who did what or what song was playing in the background, or maybe there's more deleted scenes that will help me feel like I finally got my money's worth..(I'm cheap, but mostly easy).
I thought about starting a new thread so I could add a poll, but I'll just ask it here:
If you could see in the future that we would never win a championship of any kind...How many of you would still be fans?
