It's way healthier to vent through football than politics. Far less damaging/important.
my reply wasn't to you - it was to vtae13...
Boo measured and reasonable responses! Football is about fanatacism, bearing wildly stupid grudges, and getting overly worked up.
I will never move on. I will go to my grave swearing it was a catch. If you can't get irrationally worked up over something, then what is the point?
We can just have all those guys play offense and defense to fill in the gaps. Problem solved!

haha, yeah it's only 2 defenders in the gifs, done twice each, but I'm sure if I wanted to look harder, I could find 2 more instances of a UVA defender getting crushed...
Who would buy a hotdog when you can get a turkey leg?
haha, yeah I saw that - figured I could get away with it because you change the rhythm at the 5 golden rings part anyhow, so you can just sort of smash it in there. I call it "artisitc license"
Yeah, it was too good an idea to pass up... Props to you for it.
Oof. That is blistering. Informative though - thanks for the post.
didn't we open the 2005 season with a B-2 and 2 F-117s (stealth bomber and fighters, respectively)? I think that was rather pants-crappingly awesome.
Well you don't have to check all the boxes - calling yourself "da U" is enough. And wasn't Vanilla Ice wearing a Miami hat in the Ice Ice Baby video? If so, check the asshole fan box.
I can't hate on teams that beat us because they were just better. I hate on teams that deserve it based upon dirty play, trashy fans, asshole players, and dirtbag coaches. I hate teams that have earned it by pissing me off for whatever reason, not who just beat us. Them being better than us is on us for not being good enough. I guess that's why I don't really hold any ill will towards Clemson - Dabo pisses me off sometimes, but their fans I've encountered are all nice.
If you say it out loud with a terrible Russian accent it sounds like it might
Why can't we do both?
Words cannot describe how opposed to this idea I am. London is an absolute buffoon.
Agreed. The only problem I have with Clemson is that cheer where it sounds like they forget how to spell "Clemson"
"C!
L!
E!
M!
S!
O!
... [frantically sound it out/look at your media guide]
N!"
I can't vote this up enough
Depends on the team - I really have no strong feelings towards Clemson either way, so sure, win away.
I guess if I did a breakdown,it'd be like this:
Coastal:
VT - Win them all (obviously)
Duke - sure, why not win? I'll root for you, just because you guys lose so often I feel bad sometimes...
UVA - I want them to lose every game ever. I want Cavman to fall off his horse every time he rides onto that field. I want every recruit in the country to know we are a better choice than them
GT - I hate Paul Johnson, and want him fired, so lose. If he moved on, I think I'd want them to win. If they play an SEC team, I think my dislike for the SEC will overcome my dislike for Paul Johnson.
Miami - I want them to either be winless, or undefeated when we play them (just so we can send them back to earth in flames and get credit for beating a wildly overrated opponent). So, win, I guess. But it's a complicated relationship for me.
UNC - meh. Win I guess, if only for our SOS
Pitt - no real opinion here. I'll probably develop one over the next few years, but right now I'd pull for them over some random Big 12 team or something...
Atlantic:
NCSt - Sure, I'd root for them. I've got a bunch of Wolfpack friends where I work, and have no hard feelings towards them.
BC - it'd be nice to see our doormat beat someone, so sure. #goacc. I guess their chronic ineptitude has gotten me over the whole Matt Ryan debacle (well that, and kicking the tar out of him in the ACC title)
Clemson - I don't really have any hard feelings towards Clemson. Sure, they beat us, but they got their asses handed to them in the bowl game, so whatever. #goacc
FSU - FSU usually gets the other major contenders, so I root for them in OOC because I know they will slip up somewhere in conference/will have to get through us in the title game to go to a championship. It's not an enthusiastic support, but I root for them none-the-less. #goacc
Syracuse - see Pitt
UMD - suck on it and die, terps. Have been actively anti-UMD after the way they ran out the Fridge and hired Edsall. leaving the conference hasn't helped either.
WF - No reason not to root for them. #goacc
so yeah, I'm pro-ACC with a few exceptions.
I blame the Kansas game on Stiney. "Oh, they can't stop Brandon Ore? Well lets throw it at Talib (their best defensive player) instead. They'll never see it coming!!"
Now the Peach Bowl loss to UGA - that was on Glennon.
Nice call - I like this plan.
You still run into the problem of organized sales to influence recruiting. "Come here, and I'll buy your jerseys for myself and all 99,000 of my closest friends!" Or boosters would organize annual "Buy the new recruits' jersey days." If there's a way to abuse the system to gain a competitive advantage, someone will.
You're confused. We beat Michigan. Danny Coale caught the TD pass in OT and we won it. It was all very exciting.
