"fans making themselves feel better" category. Losing to the U, being excluded from the Pac10.2, it's all about venting. Which is fine, but, it's just come to occupy so much board space, and it's so transparent. I'm more of a scoreboard guy. Saying it's simply rooting against big conferences ignores the increase, volume, and vibe re; the extreme change w/ some Y fans and how they deal w/ the disappointment of recent years. It's not a good look, and seems only to be ramping. But don't kid yourself re; the reasons.
