Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 2410978, member: 628"] I find the "regular season is meaningless " trope to be incorrect, and to use your word, incomprehensible. Define "meaningless", first of all. I'm a Pats fan, I know they are going to make the playoffs, and yet I will be watching every remaining regular season game with rapt attention. Getting the #1 seed and home field advantage is incredibly meaningful. In fact, as past seasons proved out, it may the most meaningful thing they can do to advance to the Super Bowl. How was SU's regular season in hoops meaningless last season? Had we not lost those December games we likely would have made the tournament. All of them had meaning. You can argue that in some sports not every regular season game warrants max intensity. NBA teams rest players, etc. But to call the regular season meaningless is something a sports fan shouldn't believe. [/QUOTE]
