I'm not sure why this is an opportunity to tell strangers, but my 11 year old daughter decided to make drawings of Bigfoot for troop donations instead of selling cookies

My most compartmentalized defense against "but your team lost to [haughty mitten dwellers] and they tainted your season!!" is that this really did feel like a wholly separate season from that unthinkable puckering.

Followed by "it's time to check in" email and "arrive at the airport soon!!!" texts to ratchet up the work trip departure dread

In the event of an Ohio State win, the playoff has been long enough that I'm going to end up remembering it as if it were a whole separate magical season

Every time an adult tells me goodbye and that they're headed somewhere else for the afternoon/evening, I yell "have a good night! Make good choices!" as they exit the doorway. I'm sure my co-workers aren't tired of it.

Only conference winners should be eligible to win any postseason format, and conferences should realign regionally into 8 groups to serve this function. (So easy, of course)
Conf champ games should only happen if the two top teams haven't played each other during the season yet.

This is educational for me, because I absolutely thought this and am glad to hear the contrary.
I lived in Georgia and Louisiana between 2009 and 2012 and all I ever heard was support for the conference in the bowl games. In eras where perception meant a title shot, conference hype really mattered.

Fan Barometer- I like to think I'm on the more reasonable end. The boo birds don't recall how Urban would nearly lose to inferior Michigan teams and go full lizard brain in big moments.
I was a Day defender, until yesterday. You can't lose 4x in that way with those players against that team.

Tangentially it does feel like BlueSky has our Most Reasonable contingent
That said, I simultaneously demand that they win, and have mentally set up a number of losing scenarios to guard my emotions

I'm usually struck with a passion to over-complicate just one dish every year.
This year I might purchase a ricer for the mashed potatoes. If not, I might give the "Andy Reid airport text mac n cheese" recipe a go.

I packed 3 of every type of USB cable on a cross-country trip so that when my kids inevitably said "oh no I forgot my charger!" I could produce it from my bag like a magician.
I'll note that I am not this prepared with any of their other needs, like food and clothing, just electronics.
