I’ve always been a Syracuse fan having grown up attending games. Also had PA family who were big Penn State fans. I was a fan throughout the 90’s. Now they rank among my most disliked sports teams.
I’ve always wondered what motivates people to sign up for this. The only thing I can see is viewing it as community service for fellow fans to attend the game. I’m not rich, but can’t think of any financial motive for taking this as an odd job. I would not feel motivated enough to make the effort to leave home
A national championship at Michigan in the 21st century wasn’t a given either. That school has good resources, but had fallen from the top, and he brought them to the top quickly.
I know the negative aspects of college football are always discussed at length, but conference realignment and the playoff has made the game more competitive. This season has been entertaining with more parody. Consolidating winning programs into fewer conferences made the regular season much better, with excellent matchups.
I don’t want to be overconfident, but I absolutely agree. I’m not convinced that KC is our biggest obstacle to a title. This might come down to getting past Baltimore, or even overcoming the physical play of someone like Pittsburgh.
Yeah, some people are talking about our defense melting down, but I can only blame the players so much. We didn’t dial up anything remotely interesting on defense. We handed them yards in exchange for the clock running. Only problem is there’s a lot of time left. That’s a coaching choice.
Nothing but positive things to say about coaches and players today, but this is not championship defensive coaching. This isn’t Mahomes brilliance, this is a soft zone defense, willingly giving up yards.
