@rockchalkjayhawk I would root against Duke if Ted Bundy was the opposing coach
Ted's team would just eat 'em alive.

@wissox83 I like your attitude. I can be really disappointed in sports but it never wrecks my day! Never have understood the anger from some people.
-
@mayjay It's not so much about my attitude but it's that I have to protect myself from letting it ruin my day. Today after the Badger loss, I went disc golfing which I love to do, and it was the first nice day in about a month that I could get out. Had some music on and it really cleared my head.
The KU loss in 97 was one it took a lonnggg time to get over, felt like weeks. That one was tough.

Well friends, I took a break from sports this past week. We just got back from Colorado with the kids being on spring break. Breaking tradition yet again this season. This is the first time in my life that I not only didn’t watch the selection show but I didn’t fill out a single bracket. Maybe it’s a good omen for us.

@wissox83 i liked your post then read some more and looked for the like button again only to realize i already liked it. Your post was double like quality.

@wissox83
I've mentally removed it and I might suggest others do the same. -
@kjayhawks2.0 I haven't filled out a bracket for maybe 5 years. I feel a lot smarter! I'm glad you had a good week. This is my new normal - I care less about sports almost daily.
America! Where you have the right to be wrong.

@nuleafjhawk I have been caring less and less over the last several years. 2022 probably just postponed the inevitable which ends my run caring about college athletics. My ten year old is probably what will keep me some what invested for the next 8 years.
-
Agree with the others above, it was just too hard on me to get that worked up over losses and had to distance myself a bit. Easier to do these last few years.
And yet, we’re all still posting on this fan forum. And I ‘m guessing I may not be the only one who yelled at my tv once or twice last month. And if we were to make a deep run…

@nuleafjhawk "They" (The powers over college sports) have ruined it for me. Less and less interested.
-
@FormerlyStlJhawk you're absolutely right. The difference for me is now I don't feel obligated (compelled) to watch. If I'm in front of a TV and the game is on -great! But if I have other plans, I'll do them and watch later. Or not watch later.

I will be ready to reevaluate how I feel once we field a functional roster.
