This. This describes me, as well.
I was born in Cincinnati, so being a fan of the Reds and Bengals is all I've ever known. (Strangely, I was never really "aware" of college football until I had lived in PA for many years, so I'm actually a Penn State fan.)
I REMEMBER how upset I used to get after a big loss, and how ELATED I was after a huge win, and while I still get upset and excited... the extremes are much less extreme. :)
