The SEC Forum at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I disagree.  To a large degree Alabama has ruined the sport for me, and I mean that as sincerely and non-snarky as can be.  I still like to watch my home team play, but there's zero excitement that can be manufactured as far as who's going to win the conference this year.  At least in this league.  I don't really get into the "NC or bust" mentality, but I do want to win the conference, and I at least want to be excited for the ride as the season plays out to see who pulls it out, and which division will prevail in December.  It's boring as hell over here.  Watching everybody vie for second place is what's overrated. I look forward to the day when they're normal again, not because I hate them, but because maybe this league will be interesting again. 

College football has been pretty homogenous at the top, lately.  But it's a cycle, and will end.  Alabama, Clemson, OSU, and OU have had a stranglehold, but perhaps Oregon and UGA have pierced that armor.  

It seems that way, but I don't know if that comports with human nature.  We get used to anything, and then we expect it.  The joy and the thrill goes away.

This is true in a number of Alabama fans I know.  It's not that they don't enjoy titles.  But they don't enjoy them like we enjoyed 2019.  How can they?  They happen every other year.  They're not special.  What they do get, though, is really, really worked up about every single loss.  Like, they can barely handle it. 

I'm not so sure that's better. 

Bring back regular college football. 

Eh, I'm willing to suffer through and give it a try.  You know, for Science.

But what you're describing does remind me of this allegorical short story I read in 3rd grade, about a beggar that complained to a rich person when given a crust of bread to eat.  So the rich person made a deal, and fed him only meat for a very long time.  To the point that the beggar, could not stand meat any longer, and was begging once again for a crust of bread.

Except you see, I'm just fine with only getting the meat.  I'll BBQ it and eat it for every meal.  The End.

T,his sounds a lot like if you don't let me win I'll take my ball and go home. Perhaps you can show some evidence of similar sentiments when LSU was beating the snot out of everybody.

People have often told me money can't buy happiness and that a very high percentage of lottery winners are broke within a few years.  All I've ever asked for is the chance to prove them right. 

I suspect this is an urban myth, with a number of publicized examples because they are "newsworthy", while the folks who handled it well are not.

The "news" is nearly always about the very exceptional unusual event that hits someone out there.  Almost never do they cover the commonplace, which is, well, common.

I'll take
