Schadenfreude is one reason I like sports. I really enjoy when a nemesis loses.
You mean the age of the "Cardiac Cats" is over? Are we unsuspectingly becoming Michigan fans, whereby we don't get excited unless we don't win the division, and then we become insane? I hope it isn't creeping Michiganism, but I can feel it in myself--a lull in my agitation when we win by only a point or two. I'm beginning to expect victory, and now that they happen more frequently on average, something seems missing. It must be that incredible adrenaline rush when we win the impossible victory, or don't quite. Expectations must now rise, to preserve the Cardiac Cat mystique, like the National Championship. And, what then?
I'm assuming you are a White Sox fan because they hate the Cubs more than they love the Sox, hence the Sox attendance.
We become Notre Dame with delusions of grandeur years after we were truly relevant.
Well, in that case, at least everyone thinks we are still great even though we are not.We become Notre Dame with delusions of grandeur years after we were truly relevant.
For record,, Peterman, the qb, was knocked out by a sack at the end of the third quarter and Conner played the whole first half (and was stopped cold at the goal line on the game's biggest play). Last I looked, injuries are part of the game. Guess you're not one of the happy fans. Ever check the history of this program?
