Unfortunately, I agree. For me the hardest thing to cope with is the roster turnover.

Maybe we're just growing older and have other things which require our focus.

It's probably a little of both. I still enjoy college football and really enjoy our league, but my focus/attention in the off-season to it is near nil

.

The whole kids, job and loving the Braves as much or more than the Tahd contributes to that, for sure. But there is still nothing than a great college football Saturday slate, and that will keep us coming back I imagine.

I suspect we are about the same age.

I still get jazzed for college football. I love rivalry weekend more than many things: all-day, jam-packed rivalry games and upsets. Toss on some BBQ and crack a cold one. What's not to love? I also firmly maintain the very first beer cracked at 8 AM on Labor Day weekend Saturday as Gameday starts up is the best beer of the year. I love tailgating and seeing family and friends. It's a very happy time of year even when we aren't very good.

The games used to mean so much more. But now they're turning into just that: games.

Damn, I'm in a reflecting kind of mood today.
