That represents my sentiments exactly.
Once upon a time when I lived in Alabama, a farmer was talking to his friend in the local diner about how “we” (meaning University of Alabama) were going to win the championship. All I could think of is that this guy never graduated high school, let alone attended the U of A, let alone played on their football team. Sheesh, how lame do you have to be to feel pride in the feats of others?
Re your post #80, which ended with “Sheesh, how lame do you have to be to feel pride in the feats of others?” As I often say with regard to high school, college and professional sports, it all comes down to: Our goons can beat your goons.
The only sport that I watch is baseball and I’m not rooting for any team (well, one exception: I am for any team opposing the Yankees), I’m enjoying the skills of the players and team strategy. It’s a pleasure to see the game played well.
