I was looking at the week 1 scores, and a few teams every year seem to have made no improvements. So it made me wonder, if you were enrolled in a school that didn't have any success each year would you play 4 years of football there? I think I would play just because I love the game.

Absolutely. Everyone wants to win and losing is frustrating. But if you truly love the game, you would play it regardless of the team's record.

Back in the old day's, one played"for the love of the game". I love to play the game winning was fun but, the challenge and competition was what I was hungry for. That said, yes I would play on a losing program.

If you wouldn't, then you are not a football player.

Absolutely. Losing is better than not playing.

I wouldn't have a problem playing for a losing team year in and year out.. that shouldn't be the question.. The question is could you play for a school that doesn't seem to care about football. It would be extremely hard to play for a team such as Atherton which gets murdered every year in every aspect of football. How could you play for team that doesn't try to get better? Not saying it's the kids fault, but what about having support from your school and administration..

Shoudn't the ultimate goal be to have a winning season..

Many reasons are given for quiting or not playing. However, some simply don't have the character to play the sport. Some wan't to lie to themselves by giving reasons or making excuses. Some give everything they have no matter what situation they are in. Those are the individuals that get the most out of the sport, whether on a losing team or a wining team. "Their arrows will blacken the sky. Then we will fight in the dark."

Absolutely I would play. I was taught that you play for the love of the game. I played on some losing teams in high school. It was not fun but it taught us what we had to do to become successful. I hate losing in anything but you have to learn to crawl before you can walk.

Yes I would play and have. I love the game of football and would want to try to turn it around and if they were to turn it around then you could say you was part of that team.

Yeap.

I personally lost a lot of games in High school, but I always believed in my team mates and our game plan and worked hard to execute. Losing never made me want to quit. The only time that crossed my mind was in the middle of a 3 a day for a few minutes.
