This is what I wrote December 30, 2013 on the eve of the Alamo Bowl, which Oregon would go on to win while capping a two-loss season that disappointed many delusional Oregon fans.
As many fans petitioned to get rid of first-year coach Mark Helfrich and his able assistants, I grew depressed. So much nonsense, stupidity and self-righteousness made me angry and I wanted to give up on the college game.
Not because I had lost interest in the game, but because ignorance disappoints me. Obstinate and irrational people disappoint me.
Now Oregon sits ready to play Ohio State in the first-ever College Football Playoff, and the town criers have disappeared.
Thank the football gods for small favors--for now.
I have no idea who will win Monday night as the game and Oregon's season finishes up in Arlington, Texas.
But what a great pleasure to not be suffering the loud crowd of armchair experts bashing Helfrich's team at this moment.
