A couple of observations about this level. Mark, see if you agree.

The last place team always has the most pleasant bunch of fans you ever see. They routinely get beaten by scores of 18-2. They rarely complain about anything, and are overjoyed when (if) their team scores two points.

The first place team is often, conversely, really nasty. Many times there are moms here getting their first taste of "My kid is at the top, and now you want to take something away from her."

"OH MY GOD!! REF, ARE YOU BLIND???"
