Football Is Just A Game

the whole point here, which the self-righteous people on this board are missing, is that everybody knows it's just a game, we don't need op to post some sad story to remind us. This forum is a football forum and some people like to use it to bitch about the program and vent. This is perfectly fine and people shouldn't be reprimanded for doing this...

OP needs to öööö off with this bullshit I don't care what öööö century you were born in. I will never make myself feel better by wallowing in the misfortunes of others. And all you dumbasses sucking OPs dick can öööö right the hell off with him. Its a ööööööö GT football forum and we are having the most embarrassing season in the history of the program. I can be grateful I wasn't born into modern slavery working in a nickle mine in Zimbabwe and be pissed off at our idiot players at the same time. Self righteous asses.

When you think about it logically, this is a very dystopian view of life for all sports fans.

Should every fanbase be like "I should tie my happiness and well-being to the strength of my team?" Well, sports is a zero-sum team and most fans are only happy with top 10% or better finishes.

So 90+% of fans hate their lives, despite not being born in Zimbabwe or New Jersey. 90+% couldn't enjoy anything non-sports in their lives.

The tough thing is, the more you put into it, the higher the highs like beating UGA last year or FSU this year. You can't have the higher highs without the lower lows.

And yes, dwag fans, you will suffer humiliation when the team from my area beats the team from your area.

A friend of mine died this week.

There are homeless people living all around us.

There are real problems in the world.

But, football isn't one of them.

We played a bunch of close games last year and won most of them.

We played a bunch of close games this year and lost most of them.

It's called entertainment.

For the rest of the weekend, there will be a lot more games just like this one, and I'll just enjoy being entertained.

Georgia Tech plays entertaining games and, win or lose, we get a lot of money for providing the entertainment.

We're pretty lucky.

I agree with you, sir. But I also realize that if we were having a great season, no one would be saying this stuff.

In other words, it's never as good or as bad as it seems?

Like Dirty Jacket said, "It's never as good or bad as it seems".

For some it's more than just a game dawg.

I want us to win more than everybody and have time's where I've pulled down my pants in my actions. But at the end of the game..there's nothing I can do to change the out come of the game but knowing I supported our team until the end. Always will.

Your not going to see me cutting my arms, hanging myself from a tree or make some stupid thread's about firing our coach..etc.

It's nice to have any kind of board to express our feelings regardless if we agree or disagree.
 
It is just a game. But, very talented players commit to Georgia Tech. They deserve to have a top coach directing the program.

in a logical argument, if the premise is false then any conclusion you draw will be true. but it has little truth value

The ones on the team right now committed to CPJ as coach. I think right now they would appreciate our support for the team and coaches. Unity is a big part of this team win or lose.
