I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.

We used to play every team in the conference twice a year. You knew all the players. All the coaches. You felt like you knew them.

Apathy has set in for me. I love the community here otherwise I might completely check out of basketball. I wish the football team was 7-2 instead of 6-3, but on that side I see hungry young coaches are recruiting and the shine hasn't worn off.

Basketball I just don't see much of a difference with the end of JB and Red. We may be even backsliding even more since the talent is supposed to be better.

Recruiting alone is 180 degrees different.

It seems better. Kiyan is huge, but I hope we don't overreact if he chooses USC.

What was the team hotel in Hawaii last year?

I'm about to book my honeymoon and want to make sure that I do NOT choose that one. Probably going to to the big resorty Hilton.

Him aside it's been a while since we've seen talent like Freeman w/ a sidekick like Choppa. I get Judah was ready made.

Yeah. The only thing keeping me sane is that I don't like college basketball anymore its on par with NBA, WNBA rando Euro soccer leagues etc. I'm sure Feb/March interest will pick up. Us being terrible and Uconn not even having to play a close game in March is all of it 99.99% couldn't care less about NIL or roster turnover. Their run in 2014 after the way our season started absolutely crushed me the last two weren't nearly as bad as that one or 2010 and Butler giving them a title. Didn't bother with a preview magazine this year. Wonder if there will even be a Saturday before the end of football when I deposit a few hundred bucks and pick games. Used to religiously follow the sport and SU fandom was just the cherry on top.

NCAA Lacrosse and NCAA Football I still enjoy and can watch games 24/7. I assume at some point I'll become a fan of college hoops again. I'll still watch us anytime I don't have some other conflict no matter how awful we get. Sucks the starting guards are so terrible bc its an interesting forward group and the bench is OK too.

Let's see what everyone is saying next year when that schedule is played.

The football schedule or basketball? I know football is brutal.

The quote has been ringing true in a lot of aspects in life lately. Didn't sign up for getting older.

Being a sports fan really rubs it in:

Broadcasters referring to any athlete over 33 as past their prime.
Seeing the kids of athletes you followed as a teenager becoming high-major athletes.
When you're older than the youngest MLB manager.

I give Tom Brady 20 years tops to start hawking reverse mortgages.

Seeing the kid of an athlete who was a freshman when you were a 3L become a high major prospect is a bit of a mindf.
