for who would play in the Rose Bowl. That always seemed to be more than enough to root for. In today's climate I guess that makes me a relic of a bygone era.

No insane NIL or tv deals, maybe a couple thousand spectators if the weather's decent. It's a nice refuge from the dirty money and corporate forces running roughshod over this sport.
