[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The football gods giveth and they taketh away. It is not uncommon for a team to be great one year and not the next.

Hope your kid enjoys the school spirit this year. The success on the field won't be the same senior year; just plain odds.[/quote]

weird comment - success and runs like this become the seeds for a dynasty at top academic schools.  Ever hear of Coach K?[/quote]
My point is that, most often, success does not become the seeds for a dynasty. Sometimes, yes, but most of the time, no. Too many variables.

It's fun, to be sure. Enjoy it while it lasts.[/quote]

bet you’re loads of fun at parties [/quote]
Insult me all you like. This forum isn't a party.

The above was my practical advice to one of my kids, whose college football team played in the national championship game: "enjoy the moments." And he did enjoy the moments, including more than one field-rushing win at home over that season. The next year was a return to a typical win-some, lose-some sports season, which was still fun, but not at that same level. It's about expectations - I didn't want him to expect the success would continue, with disappointment when it didn't.[/quote]
