There are a lot of ups and downs to college football. A lot of emotions are on the line as our beloved teams take the field each weekend. We learn a lot about the do's and don'ts to offense and defense, but do we ever think about what college football could teach us about life? Here are 10 things to learn about life told by this past weekend's college football match-ups:
1. Don't get so worked up, life goes on
Yeah taking a loss is hard but there’s always another week, just like there’s another week of college football (FSWho?)
2. Patience is a virtue
Just like college football, the end beginning frustrations don’t always match the ultimate victory. This is especially true in North Dakota State’s case
3. There can't always be a winner
I mean we can’t get participation trophies our whole lives, just like we can’t all keep the same ranking (Sorry again FSWho?)
4. Looks aren't all they're cracked up to be
You might think someone has it all, just like a top ten team, but that person can go down just as easily as FSU against Lamar Jackson
5. Redemption can be earned through hard work
You might have a rough year but just like Alabama proved, you can come back the next year and prove your dominance
6. Every second is important
It’s not over until it’s over. That’s what Georgia proved against Missouri
7. Don't waste all you time on one thing
Don’t miss out on life because you’re trying to perfect one thing. Just like Ohlahoma should stop wasting time pointing out Ohio State’s “basic” defense, and get back to working on their own defense
8. Nobody likes a bandwagoner
Cheer for your team; don’t start picking based on colors. Especially don’t pick Alabama football
9. Use your brain
It will really get you far in life if you put your mind to something…and maybe South Carolina State should remember that next time when throwing away the ball
10. And sometimes you have to get physical
Don’t sit there and let someone show you up. Take a lesson from Leonard Fournette and shove him to the ground
