I'm all for it. Trust me. Be disappointed all you want. But when you say shit like "you're disgusted with this team", "embarrassed by them", or "you're not proud of them" you're being an idiot. These are kids.
i just dropped my son off at 2 today and spent 30 minutes talking to 2 football players - you'd know they're names if I mentioned them. The whole time I'm talking to them, I'm thinking "these are kids. 18 year old college kids and people what to MF them when they lose a game"
It's repulsive. Get ahold of yourself. You're a fan, sitting on a computer while they're out on the court/field competing at the highest level in college and you (the collective "you") want MF them? F anyone who does that.

I do get that as well. I agree that some people go overboard, drastically at times. But it is also aggravating when those that come to voice displeasure in some semblance of a rational manner are dogged mercilessly. Anything can happen in sports as the cliche goes, but REALISTICALLY, we should never, ever have lost the Wisconsin, PSU OR this game. The talent is absolutely there and we were in position to win those games except for total meltdowns by the team.

I sort of agree with this but at the same time, it's not that obvious either. The positive attention that comes with being a star athlete is more than welcomed by the majority of these guys. And who wouldn't love it? But that attention is a result of people *caring* about sports, college sports, more than they probably should and the flip side of that is the negative emotion after tough losses. You gotta take the boos and trash talk with the cheers and high fives, everything else is just unrealistic.

The reality is between seeing Clowney destroy Smith about 5 million times on ESPN, Wisconsin's buzzer beater three that took the game to OT in tournament promos and the way this will be the lead story on Sportscenter, it's getting a bit grating to be on the wrong side of highlight clips.
