My apathy has been growing for years and years. I don't know if that's a product of age (51), or if it's a function of the lack of 'consistent high stakes' or somesuch—as we just aren't at the same level of excellence, and playing with recruits at the highest level, and because our style of play is less conducive t excitement. Some combination of all of the above, likely. But, as i've suggested in the past, i wonder if we al have differing expectations based on whenever we 'joined up' to the Orange wagon. I started in 85, and we had Pearl, and Sherm was a backup. The next year, we had DC and beat Carolina to go to the final four, and then the Champeenship. We then signed the co-No1 recruit in Billy Owens... Stakes were high. We were a showtime team. It was thrilling.

That all said, i still do not miss a single game, and i watch every minute. My commitment hasn't waned, but i absolutely do not get stomachsick with any loss, and the wins are taken in much the same way on the other end—with very little satisfaction. It's as if the emotion quotient has been put through a compressor (audio reference): no highs, no lows.
