Winning….

[appalum2003]

well, the NCAA is just another Professional League anyway so why not?

the "colleges" are just placeholders and money-launderers

Portal and NIL changed my view. Enjoy winning but losing doesn’t bother me.

It's good to see the perspectives offered in this thread by some. I've definitely been guilty of allowing football performance to play too big a role in my life. There was a time when an App loss ruined my entire weekend. I would literally be in a bad mood for days and unable to really enjoy other things that might be planned. I still get worked up during games, but today I like to think I have a much healthier perspective. We all want App to win and I get very frustrated when we don't....especially if I feel like we "should" have wont or that we effectively beat ourselves (often the case it seems). All that said, although I'm not delusional and I recognize the situation, I will ALWAYS believe that we have a chance to win each and every game. I know that folks say things in frustration or in jest, but if there are those who actually want the season to be over, I think they have a bad perspective.

What the players on the field are doing is infinitely more difficult than anything being asked of the fans. They work unbelievably hard individually and as a team. Sometimes it doesn't work and I have to believe that nobody in the stands is more disappointed than the guys on the field. I'm certainly not going to give up and I sure hope the players don't. I don't see that happening right now. I still believe we have a strong coaching staff, so I fully expect to win some more games this year.

Let's go de-throne the Monarchs. GO APPS!!!!
