It's weird to me that people say they aren't going to watch it - it's college football!
Not watching it - is that sour grapes or what?

Agree -seems strange that folks who claim to be college football fans would choose to not watch this game. I get those who don't really care about the sport and only watch their team. I am like that about hockey. But college football? Hard to fathom that Alabama fans would not love the sport.It's weird to me that people say they aren't going to watch it - it's college football!
No, it is simply what the game is becoming, and the lessening of my interest in it over the past couple of years. I honestly got to the point this season that I didn't even watch a few Alabama games simply due to the opponents' style of play. True story there. As I get older, I have also considered that no one "lays on their death-bed" wishing that they had watched more college football. I truly don't know why I ever cared so much about the accomplishments of other men to begin with.... Completely no issue with anyone if that's what they want to do, but since you asked for / made an accusation regarding my motivation. Just explaining my personal lack of interest in the game (& CFB) here.It's weird to me that people say they aren't going to watch it - it's college football!

Same for me. I watched a few on BAMA games, but the HUNH offense has killed college football for me. I do not enjoy watching BB on grass.No, it is simply what the game is becoming, and the lessening of my interest in it over the past couple of years.

No accusation whatsoever - I'm simply curious. That was the first thing that popped into my mind. No need to get all defensive.Completely no issue with anyone if that's what they want to do, but since you asked for / made an accusation regarding my motivation.
Certainly didn't mean to come across as being defensive. I guess it was the "sour grapes" comment that seemed a little accusatory. No problem.No accusation whatsoever - I'm simply curious. That was the first thing that popped into my mind. No need to get all defensive.
No one plays defense anymore, haven't you heard :biggrin:No accusation whatsoever - I'm simply curious. That was the first thing that popped into my mind. No need to get all defensive.
Upvoted for getting in a dig at the beavers.I've thought long and hard about it and I've decided to pull for the Ducks. I really like Mariota. Also, my daughter has never lived in a state that has had the reigning National Champion before and the Beavers never will, so there you go.
