I will say.. It's tough to see this shit now 2 of the last 3 years and feel optomistic. As I get older.. Going into my 30s with more and more responsibilities.. I'll probably look back to this very game as why I'm not as into the sport as I used to be.
No other sport.. Has even close to the preferential treatment specific teams like college ball has for Duke and UNC. The Yankees, Pats, Celtics, Lakers would be the next closest.. And they aren't even in the same strosphere (coming from someone who dislikes or hates all four of them).
