As I would surmise college football is a big hobby for many on here, I was wondering what you expect from it? I personally expect to have a good time with friends and family and to get trashed outside of the stadium before the game. Wins would be nice, but I've been an Iowa fan my whole life and I know better than to ever have any expectations of winning. I like those stories on the weekly Dolph show about how guys who played for Iowa when I was growing up have gone on to be productive members of society and how current players give attention to the disadvantaged and brighten their day. But in the grand scheme, if Iowa is 2-10 or 10-2, it doesn't really matter, I never expect them to win any serious hardware and no one outside of die hard Iowa fans will give two craps about it for more than 5 minutes after the game is over.
My only beef with college football is the NFL pricing that has taken effect (other than at Northwestern and other crappy teams like ISU). Not gonna lie, for a decent stretch of time, I got my hopes up about Iowa football being a legit program and the letdown when it failed to materialize sucked (but the ticket prices never came back down to match reality). So now, I just roll with the flow and bince I have gone to some NU games where I didn't give two craps about the outcome and focused more on the important stuff (e.g., getting trashed out in the parking lot with my buddies on a nice fall afternoon), I've gained a new found appreciation of my hobby. I suggest that all of you guys who are spewing all the crap over Miller's board give that a try and spend some Saturdays away from the Hawks just going to a game with nothing riding on it just to get back your focus and perspective on the big picture stuff.
