I still watch the games, and I've gotten older and busier, but into my 30s (37 now) Husker football was an event - someone was always hosting etc. I still watch, but I don't invest like I once did - just sucks losing any game of substance, and this year, NIU.
Next week I may just listen and do some yard work. Can't really call people fair weather when the product on the field isn't good.
