I get being into every game even blowouts, but the anticipation in the week leading up to the game, nerves and uncertainty is an integral partof the joy I get from the game. Much of that is missing when you play games you are almost assured of winning.

I guess it's different for other people. Don't get me wrong, for the big games I'm even more hyped. But I get just as antsy wanting to see Bama make teams quit as I do wanting to see Bama win the big games. It probably stems from a few things.

1. Being too young to truly appreciate the Gene Stallings era

2. Hearing stories about the Bear

3. The dark times

Combine those three, and seeing Bama dominate is just really fun to me. As is waiting to see it. Everyone is different though, and no one is more or less of a fan because they get into games/the hype for games more than others.

I don't know, I kinda miss the 90's when teams like Georgia and LSU were automatic wins.
