    Alabama

    The late great comic Joe E. Lewis once said about the Yankees,
    "Rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for US Steel"

    My wife is a huge 'Bama fan, been for years (she has friend down there)
    So I watch them every week, don't dislike them, don't love them neither, but enough already.
    Every year they're like surgeons, week in, week out, year in, year out.
    I know winning never gets old and all that, but after awhile you just want to scream at the screen "JUST LOSE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD"
    How can this be fun, when you know you're going to win, not just win, but win by 30.
    I'm glad my beloved UConn Husky women lost last season, it was refreshing.

    As a Royals fan, I was thrilled in '15, just like Red Sox fans in '04, and White Sox fans in '05, that was different, those fans aren't used to winning, and never know when they'll win again.

    How can being a 'Bama fan be fun anymore?

    I'd rather watch them go 2 and 14 in the NFL then go 60 and 5 across 5 seasons or so and win four titles.

    Yeah, I know I'm ranting, and no this rant is not alcohol fueled lol

    liberalism has taught our youth not to want to win anymore, not to want to be exceptional. Sad.

    I'm the furthest thing from a liberal, but watching them is like watching a Seinfeld episode.
    You've seen it 100 times, you know every punch line.

    ha. just messing around man. I don't know you. Havin a laugh while I'm working from home tonight.

    I probably can't comprehend domination like UConn or Bama. My team wins big once in a while then has to 'reload' for a couple years.

    I'm a Royals fan, we win once every twenty years, then after winning suck for 10 consecutive years.
    I'm a UConn fan because I live here. plus Geno is extremely likeable, and he does a lot for the area.
