One reason I absolutely love college football is that I don't have one team that I'm overly passionate about. I can just unbiasedly enjoy any game. What a pleasure my Saturdays are because of it.
Sundays are a totally different story. My favorite NFL team has been the Cincinnati Bengals since I can remember. I don't know why. Maybe it was their funky helmets. Maybe it was the maverick style of play in the late 70s - they had Bill Walsh, yes, THAT Bill Walsh, as their offensive coordinator. Or maybe it was the -75 degree AFC championship that I watched them pummel the Chargers in to go to their first Super Bowl in '80. But by the mid 80's I was a diehard. I still am though I've endured some of the most wretched football ever witnessed for about fifteen years. Now it seems, despite some moderate success over that past few years, that the Bengals are back to being the Bungals. So I spend most Sundays bummed out that they lost.
What makes matters worse is that Kristie is a diehard Packers fan. And they're 7-1.
Actually, I've come to like them . . . even their QB.
But I can never enjoy the pro game like I can the college game.
