College Football a Passion or Curse??

Every Saturday morning I find myself waking up at the same time 8:00 am. Some people might think hat I'm crazy others will understand, because they are up with me as well. passion or curse? That is the question of debate in this blog entry. Is College football a passion or curse? I have seen grown men cry over a simple game that they personally can not change the outcome of the game. I'll admit it as well i have shed some tears in the past over college football its just a passion that runs deep in my blood. Nobody understands my love for college football except my mom and dad. Everyone thinks that its so bizarre that every Saturday I wake up at 8:00am to watch College Football Live on ESPN. This is a program that previews all the big match ups of the day and major upset alerts. You can almost say that it is a appetizer before the actually games start. My bedroom is in the basement at my house, and every Saturday I probably come up stairs a total of 4 times between 8 and 3ish. I only come up for food or when a game is so unbearable to watch that i just get so frustrated. The only bad thing sometimes about watching games is when my team is playing I am not aloud to watch it with my mom because she says i get too worked up for her. This is were the debate of passion or curse comes about. Where do you draw the line as a fan? How much is too much. I think in college football you almost feel like you have a relationship with the players on the team so, it makes you feel closer to them so when they do not preform well it hurts you. Because you feel that you have a strong realtionship with them when they suffer you suffer. I don't think you get that from Professional sports, they just that they're a different species on this earth. I think when college football gets to the point were you can call it a passion you only feel like it's a curse when your team does not preform up to your standard. A true college fan will never revel that it is a curse. The people that call it a curse are the people that have to put up with our mood swings during a big game think its a curse. All us College football fans must stick together. Its the sport we love to hate :)
