Same here... the past decade has slowly worn away my interest


in college football. The current 4-team FBS playoff system is a debacle and essentially ensures no small-market team like VT will ever compete for a national title. At the same time, Tech football has been in a gradual decline since 2011. Add COVID + the transfer portal + the constant drama with Fu & Crew... and it pretty much made me not care anymore.

I used to religiously attend all home games, plus a couple away games, and would plan my weekend around Hokies football. Not so anymore. I haven't been to a game in Blacksburg since 2016. If the Tech game's on TV, I might watch if I'm not doing something else, but it's no longer a priority. Everything over the past 10 years or so has just converged to wash away the rabid fandom I used to have. Probably not such a bad thing after all, though. I keep the $$ in my pocket and just do stuff with my family now.
