Maybe someday you'll join us.

You mean there's a chance we too could join a relatively weak conference that would allow us to build sugarplum delusions of superiority before being beaten in the playoffs each year?

Sometime reader, first time poster.

The Greatest Time of the Year has finally prompted me to join the discussion.  I will embark at 8 am tomorrow morning on an annual pilgrimage.  It is one many of my peers here in the great frozen tundra of our nation do not understand.  "Wait," they say.   "You're going to drive ten straight hours to watch a division III football game?"  I could try to tell them.  I could outline the tradition.  I could paraphrase the passion.  I could explain the emotion.  It wouldn't matter.  They wouldn't understand.  They wouldn't comprehend the difference between black and red.  They wouldn't understand that a 300 lb piece of molded metal carries far more weight than that.  They wouldn't understand coming off the bus ready for war, both as a player and as a fan.   They'd rather watch the B(C)S.  We're a few days from the greatest day of the year and I for one am ready to plant a black and gold flag in the ground, shotgun some domestic, and let the the good times roll.

Also, are there any Wallies on here that aren't on the AARP mailing list?  I feel a little bad about hurling insults at guys who hear Walker and think "mode of transportation" instead of "coach who will beat me on Saturday".
