I absolutely love college football, I love the pagentry, the emotions, the plays, and the hype for the year. It happens every time, we come into the season thinking our team has a chance, we really think that. One loss into the season we are salvaging the season by rationalizing that next year will be great because we have so many returning starters and young players. The next week starts the battle all over again, depending on a win or a loss we start talking how this will impact the next season and what it all means.
It's kind of ironic that we always are looking forward to that next season thinking about what may be. In a world that is so big on perfection and getting everything right it's hard not to. There are very few teams and fans that can live in the now. Alabama was and is a now team. Ohio State (for as much as I think they are overrated) is a now team. Boise State, this is it, it's now or never. And maybe Oregon and TCU. The rest of the other 119 Divsion 1-A football teams are all thinking about next year... and what it could be.
You know what though, we love it and we come back for more... just like Kenny Chesney says in his new album Hemingway's Whiskey:
In little towns like mine that's all they got/
Newspaper clippings fill the coffee shops/
The old men will always think they know it all/
Young girls will dream about the boys of fall/
Sometimes it's good to just live in the now and enjoy what it's all about.
