Do you go through withdrawal?

From football, that is!

I am a college football fanatic. My Dad was a HS coach and I was raised on a football field. Of course AU football is first, but I love it all, I will watch almost any college game on TV, even some of those Tuesday night, Akron vs. Toledo type games they show on ESPN!

So, needless to say, I am go through major withdrawal this time of year when football season ends. What the heck to we do with our Saturdays, which have been reserved for football since August? I try to get into AU basketball. Believe me, I try. I really got into it last year during the tournament but I really find it hard to get into until March.

How do you get through the withdrawal? 😊

That first Saturday without college ball at the end of the season is rough.

I wish that I was a bigger basketball fan to help fill the void, but I'm just not very into it until March Madness.

Thankfully hockey is heating up and racing is just around the corner.

I have seriously thought I need to do that, when is the season?

Yep. I played baseball. Hate watching baseball. My dad was a top flight amateur golfer and I caddied and learned from him. I hate watching golf. I was a competitive swimmer. No swimming to watch. Pro BB and FB and Hockey ---- zzzzzzz.

I watch and enjoy college BB until the tournament is over. Then I find other things to do.Work in the yard. Go hiking in the mountains. Binge watch a couple of TV programs.

But I have some professional/socially relevant activities I contribute to, and a couple of online projects and discussion groups (not sports related) that I actively participate in.

Frankly, for me, there is a lot more to life than sports. I will not speak for others, but I suspect I am not the only one who has interests beyond sports.

Love football Saturdays. The wife doesn't look at me sideways for buying fried chicken or having a beer at 11:00  in the morning. Try not to let her know when it is over and usually takes her a few weeks to figure it out.

NASCAR fan? 🤠

I love it. Camped in infield at Dega a few times, and been to Texas MS a few times. Wish there were more in a closer proximity to me, but not much you can do in South Louisiana. LOL
