Pretty much this. I think fandom, and how you respond to wins/losses matures with age.
You begin to realize its a game, and a form of entertainment, and you are along for the ride.
In the 90s, after years of suckage, combined with a younger me, i thought i was part of something.
The older (and more jaded?) I get, i realize im a consumer....nothing more.
I honestly get more entertainment from the cp community, than i do the actual 3 hours of gametime each week.
That said....im a huge jayhawks fan, and when they won the title in 08, i changed.....meaning, i dont stress games/tourney anymore.
Chiefs winning the super bowl will be one gigantic enema for the entire fanbase!
