==============================
I do think that love of college football and one's chosen team is a way of life. Too many meaningful interactions over the years with friends and family have arisen out of football to say it isn't a way of life. I have watched others experience similar, wonderful moments with their children, parents, and spouses.It is something we do every year at the same time every year. It is fellowship. And it creates lasting memories and very real human emotions. It is awesome.
If football were taken away, I would consider my quality of life diminished. It would make me sad. I would survive and still have a full life, but I would miss it a great deal.
This way of life gets passed on from generation to generation and is quite literally a tie that binds (insert Pat Dye joke here). Some of my very best days with my Dad were at Auburn for football games. And some of my very best days with my children happened at the very same place. The thing on the field is just a game, but the ritual of it is more important than the results on the field.
Of course, one has to have something of a clue to leverage on this opportunity. But a clue shouldn't be that hard to find despite all the evidence to the contrary.
