It's so hard to watch college basketball now.  I have to admit, I have zero interest in the NCAA tournament without SU in it.  I don't know hardly any of the players on other teams, and even on your own team, there's so much turnover now.

I was watching a random Premier League game last night - Aston Villa v. West Ham - and I enjoyed the hell out of it, because I knew the players, I knew the coaches, I knew their strategy, etc.

It's hard to enjoy watching sports when you don't know any of the players.  From time-to-time I'll be flipping channels, and I don't know if any of you have seen "Fantasy Football" on TV (or whatever they call it ...), but I caught it a couple times and tried to watch for 5-10 minutes.

If you are unfamiliar, you are watching somebody play a Madden Football type of game on television, with announcers who sound like Newhouse kids, or their equivalent.  The teams are in made-up uniforms, with made-up names, and the players are all made-up.  No real guys, because they didn't license their name and likeness.  So, it's all random.  Impossible to watch (for me, anyway).  You don't know who is supposedly a good player from a bad one.  It was completely boring.

That's what college hoops has become.  Getting to the point that I almost never watch unless it's SU.
