[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3768556, member: 44288"] In my youth, I loved the game. I have played many an hour on the field after the guys in pads and helmets left. We were such a small school we never had football as a sport, Basketball and baseball only. No track and field, soccer, nothing. We didn't even have a band. We took state in Class B basketball and baseball several years in a row. Football was my passion. I knew I would never wear pads, but I could enjoy the game through others. I have never bet on the games, Pro football was fun but sometimes as boring as golf because unlike college, there seemed to me that there was no fire in the belly to win, it was all about them. College became my outlet and I had my teams I rooted for, OU being number one then OSU Cowboys, then, any Big 8 team that was playing in a bowl, yes even, ugh, Texas! When politics raised its ugly head, I swore off college and pro because they no longer were about the game. So far, the USFL has been a nice change with no politics! I don't even care what team wins, just play the game. [/QUOTE]
