Off Topic - Any Panther fans that USED to be NCAA BB fans?

Just wondering if I am alone. I used to love watching college hoops.  I used to watch a couple games a week and was all over the tournament.

 

I could care less now. Players are in and out so fast, it just seems like a waste of time to learn about anyone until they hit the NBA. 

 

Anyone else?

I used to enjoy it a whole lot more back in the late 80's/early 90's when I was really into it because you actually got to follow a team and watch as the players grew. Now, it's mostly a one, maybe 2, and done and move on to the NBA. There's really no point to following a college bb team anymore.

Ya I LOVE playing pickup games with guys that are 6'7" and can drain every jumper. 

I love playing for cardio but it is impossible when you can't stay on the court.

For a variety of reasons, the quality of the NCAA game has really declined relative to the NBA over the last couple of decades.  I used to follow it very closely but now I pretty much just follow the NBA.  Once you watch a lot of NBA games trying to watch NCAA basketball is pretty painful.

Used to be the opposite.

Yup.  I never really played basketball, but I grew up playing baseball.  fug that, I should have played soccer.  That definitely would have been my thing.  Feel like with my endurance and aggression I could have been a good RB

      I feel like we are running out of time on dodging this bullet.  It will be us within 5 years or less imo.

      Brother, I don't have a clue about what to watch, Ive been victim to too many "reality TV" scams. Bear Grylls was the last straw for me.... wait a second I did watch early pawn stars for about 6 full seasons. That slop 90 Day Fiance, Temptation Island, and marriage at first sight shows should be banned. Total trash that get insane ratings.  The last series I watched with GREAT joy and excitement was the first Dexter series on showtime. They do not make any TV movie slop for me in the last 20 or so years. New Dexter was a complete joke. Besides having one gem hidden each year, example I liked dune..... but Im a Syfy junkie.  Hell recently Im on the wine mom schedule with murder shows Forensic Files, dateline, any murder shows copies. My TV/movies knowledge is 20 years ago when history channel had Modern Marvels, MTV played music videos, and BET had Comic View. My gods do I miss those days... Plus Im on a terrible Habit with YouTube shorts, I need to do better...... Sucks being a old soul in this era.

      Idk maybe. Guys like Favre, Rodgers, Brees also only having 1 kinda takes the heat off the Colts only getting 1 with Manning. And none of those QBs had to deal with the Pats dynasty or Steelers/Ravens mini-dynasties (no they are not dynasties but both those teams were in the mix pretty much every year in the AFC and both won 2 SBs in Manning’s career). Honestly think if the Manning Colts were in the NFC they’d have won 2-3.   An elite QB is a big deal but you still have to build a team around them. They could’ve been like the Dolphins with Marino.
