Fun is the right approach. That's one of the reasons it's called a "game". >Even those of us who live and die for a sports team >realize in the end that it's all just a game. You'd be amazed at the nutty Buckeye fans out here in Ohio. (Pun intended. For those unfamiliar, a Buckeye is not only the Ohio State University nickame, but it's originally a hard-shelled, poisonous nut.) To tell many that it's just a game is an offense. Even after living in Nebraska & Oklahoma, this place has football inculturated. Deeply. So I regularly wear my modern and vintage '70s Badger caps and Cub cap around here.
