I won’t be watching any football games, at least not live. I’ve never been the guy that sits and watches football all day. I watch Utah’s games, and if Utah is doing well, I’ll watch games that affect Utah in some way (only occasionally, almost never the whole game).
This year, after yet another crap the bed performance by the Utes, I will not be watching any more games live. If they play well, I will watch the recorded game. If they continue to be so poo poo, then I won’t bother. This is equally a reflection on the team’s performance this year and over several years, as well as my own inability to not let the disappointing performances get to me. My weekends are the only time I get to spend with my wife and kids. I need to be my best self at those times. When the Utes don’t embarrass themselves, it adds to my weekend. When they do embarrass themselves (at least a couple times a year) it effects me and that in turn effects the time I spend with my family.
Football is entertainment, and the entertainment value of this football team just isn’t worth my time, energy, and emotions.
Call me a bandwagon fan if you want, I don’t care. The crap the bed games are often enough, and they bother me enough that watching the Utes is just as likely to be torturous as it is to be entertaining. I’d rather do something that is much more likely to entertain me, and much less likely to cause strain on me and my family.
