HEY! A fellow soccer player! Alright, you just got back on my good list jk lol I played rec and clubs for about 8 years, loved every minute.
Seriously, I know what you mean. I first started getting into BYU football my sophomore year primarily because my dad was a big football guy (not of BYU, but we always had season tickets to ASU and he also loved the Longhorns), and started replying to my emails with football plays. Id have to submit, research'em out and that got me interested little by little, and then with BYU's losing streaks, Id get involved yelling for them to actually throw the frickin ball or what have you. It's true, ever since Lavell left, it hasnt been the same, game wise. Fan wise, though, you have a lot of die hards but its a pretty contained group, I'll tell ya. It's not as broad as other universities.
But hey, I don't know too many girls that are fans of any sports. (to watch anyway)
Heh, *scratches head* I get that a lot, what can I say, I'm a rear breed of my genus...*shrugs*
