All 4 of my teams suck this year. It’s really freed up my Saturdays and LadyYB is happy

My wife had a good run. Obviously the lost decade and then the nephew situation gave my spurs interest a blow.

Happy to report the beer at 8am had no negative long term effects. The at home liquor is performing nicely.

So you are under 35 years old?

Best song on the Garden State soundtrack?

Going with Colin Hay. His post-Men at Work career is a little coffeeshopesque but he’s got it.

Brings me back to fall, freshman year at Wake, long walks around campus with my iPod, headphones cranked, lovelorn.

Nobody loves him some Colin Hay like Zach Braff.

(I also love his solo stuff)

Sure. But that doesn’t depend on the expected result and isn’t a condemnation of caring about sports. Your beef is unhealthy coping. It’s weird to see a post you don’t like as a sign someone else cares more about Wake sports than you do.

I also don’t see posting dumb shit on a message board game thread as particularly unhealthy or comparable to punching a hole into a wall. But this board doesn’t bleed over to real life for me like it does for many of you.

I do not equivocate how angry one gets about sports as making them a better or worse fan. I just think it's a sign of poor emotional regulation that's all, and it's especially weird when there isn't really a good reason for it. I think it reflects poorly on people that regularly let their emotions run away from them (or post in a manner that indicates that!) and don't think it should be celebrated.

"Doesn't bleed over to real life" like you haven't met many posters over the years and are somehow above it all lol Mr. 150k posts.
