My sports fanatic recovery has progressed nicely too, Dawg80. Haven't watched a single tv college game since the IBowl folks showed their %$# in 2012. Haven't watched a single NFL game since the kneeling began (not so much the kneeling as the NFL's partiality and hypocritical handling of others wishing to protest). Don't miss them. CURED FOR LIFE!! Get a lot more reading done, working around the house, canoeing, biking...
I even missed more home Tech football games this season (3) than I've ever missed in any decade before. Gonna keep season tickets for football, MBB and WBB, add baseball in the new stadium. This is as much tradition as passion now. Still a Tech fan, not a sports fan. Good luck in your recovery.
You're a lot further along in the process than me. But, I don't necessarily equate being "recovered" with not watching games on TV at all. Right now, I'm aiming for not caring who wins. Not allowing the results of games to bother me. On that front, I have made nice progress. I shrug off results like recent trips to Marshall and UAB. I don't care very much, and soon won't care at all.
Nirvana will be getting to the point when I don't even know the results and don't care enough to look up the score!
I used to completely veg out on Saturday and watch every game that came on. I found a reason to pull for one team in every contest. I have now reached a point where I can go an entire weekend without seeing a game or checking scores and I don’t miss it. Maybe that is just us having 2 kids, hobbies, and lots of weekend excursions.
Dang guys, we’re 9-3 with a Bowl game coming. I hope he stays.
Remember;
“You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone”
We know we got/had about 2000 (was that eyes or peeps?) for the final game of the great "6 home wins season".
In "the glass is half full" perspective, yep! Tech football remains consistent, steady. This year we could reach a milestone, a 10-win season, and to do that will mean winning a 6th straight bowl game. Both of those are nice accomplishments. Can't speak for any others, but to me, both are "awesome" accomplishments...with one caveat. Just remember how easy our schedule was this year. We were 8-0 vs. dregs, and only 1-3 vs. good/decent teams. Now, as for the bowl, I have always said Holtz does a great job preparing the team to play. I certainly hope he does it again this year.
Go Dawgs!
