It’s a real problem today that students, and far too many alumni, and others, have their self esteem tied to how many games and championships their chosen team wins.
I understand the mindset, because I once shared it. I’d be depressed if a season, or an athletic event did not turn out as I had hoped. I’ve been cured for a number of years.
You know, I’ve grown tired of big-time college football programs. The irrationality that people exhibit at the mere mention of rival college teams is getting annoying. My wife is from Alabama and those people are just psycho, There should be a fence placed around that state and the inhabitants all sterilized no more can be made.
There needs to be a serious realignment of priorities at some of these “institutions of higher learning”. Placing a game above a human life or someone’s livelihood is not rational behavior. Maybe they should take the money out of it?
I agree with you, but it sure is not limited to students or college sports.
