Man I can relate to a lot of the feelings expressed here. For some reason, though just like a moth drawn to a flame, I keep going or watching these games. But I am getting less and less enthused about the state of college football and the Cougars place in it.
I’ve been a Cougar fan for over five decades. I’ve been through some pretty hopeless seasons, but there was always still some thing special and “Coug “ about the teams. But nowadays how “Coug “are the players who I barely know their names before they transfer? But we are somehow supposed to stay loyal? Loyal to what? There are still some people like Jackson and Stone, who are clearly invested in being cougs and that’s cool to see. But in most of college football it’s a wild West and most people just aren’t connected heart and soul to their university anymore. It’s just a stopping place.
When we lose a game now, it just feels like our less well paid Mercenaries lost to a team with better paid mercenaries. I just don’t feel the same spirit.
I actually enjoy watching big sky games now more than a lot of the major college games.
