Sums up my thoughts exactly.

If you don't want to read the whole thing - here's the thesis.
We care very much about our college football teams and we have
absolutely zero control over their success. It's a nerve-racking
position. It calms us to see that efforts are being made to improve the
team. It comforts us to know that help might be on the way, and to know
how many tackles that help registered in his junior year of high school
and to know his 40 time and max bench press. Maybe we can even watch
some video of that help. <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Essentially, we need help.</span>
