The thread about @billoliver40 made me think about how everyone views their "fandom" of UK athletics. I just turned 85 and have been a UK fan before I ever saw a tv. I've raised kids, retired from two careers, and rarely miss a UK basketball or football game, at least on tv. I've had season tickets to both sports for at least 20 years at a time. There were times in my life that it consumed me. The Wisconsin basketball game in 2015 changed me. I was depressed on Sunday following that game, and I realized that I was spending way too much heart and soul on a game being played by kids younger than my grandkids. I still as much of a fan as I've ever been, but I don't get as upset or stressed as before. I use this site as a way to keep my mind engaged. While I'm often a contrarian, that is my way to engage in discussion and try to keep my mind keen.
The comments in the thread I mentioned earlier criticized a fan for not caring enough about UK losses and criticism of UK. I'm curious how much UK athletics and its rivalries affects your life.
