You know what I think is funny? Trolling a college football thread about how you think football is stupid?

If you've never been to a night game at the Shoe or Death Valley, listened to the jingle of keys at the Big House, tailgated in any college town, watched Boomer Sooner drive a wagon accross the field or war eagle fly around the stadium, or just been with 100K of your closest friends screaming your head off on a third down then I feel sorry for you.

Where I come from and for a lot of places accross America college football is life.  It elicits so much emotion; the highest of the highs and lowest of the lows, anger and hate for sure (Michigan Sucks Zilbert  ) and really just gives a lot of people something to look forward to in the fall and every week during the season. 

Really you can think what you want about football but please leave it out of this thread becuase this is something we love and cherish.

 
Very well said. Though as a Texas fan, the primary emotions I associate with football this year are shame, sadness, and rage 

Where else can someone root for The U and Northwestern, since they're playing against the make the beast with two backseyes?

Come on Carlos, I haven't commented on a football thread in over a year and automatically I get this?  I can't wait to see how many interceptions Gardner throws this week. 


Urban we'll be taking his nation's longest winning streak to Ryan Field and will walk out with #18 in a row.

I am very concerned with Clemson and Oregon/Stanford.  Might keep my Buckeyes out of the NC game.

I have friends, yes, I actually do have some friends, from Clemson that have been waiting for quite some time for someone to say that they're worried about their team.

Grow a sense of humor.  Show me anywhere that I said football is stupid.  Go ahead I dare ya!  If you like it it is ok, I don;t think you less nor do I think you stupid.  I have however gotten a ton of laughs with my little analogy and while you do not seem to have much a sense of humor many do.

Football is fine if it amuses you.  (despite the hot pants, shoulder pads and ass slapping I will withhold my opinion of the fans sexuality)  Come on now, have some fun and whatever you do don't get offended, it's supposed to be fun.    

Had to add:  If you would rather be upset please tell me which bar you hang out at and watch games.  I can show up with my TV B-gone remote and drive you nuts during the playoffs

Go fly a kite, we are good here.

So you know if Kopf, Carlos, and I are agreeing on something in the College Football thread than... oh wait I just saw a pig fly by my window  

I really wanted to let this go but I'm stuck at work and found this; the definition of Internet Troll.

In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroÊŠl/, /ˈtrÉ'l/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a forum, chat room, or blog), either accidentally[3][4] or with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[5] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion

Dude, you're right you didn't outright call us stupid but you did imply it and now I'm pretty sure you're infering that football players and fans are gay. One of my good friends is a 6'8" Former Buckeye Defensive End.  I'd like to see what you have to say to him about all the ass slapping. I'll pm you the address of where we're watching the game tonight if you want me to.  I'd love to see you there so you can see what it's like here in Columbus on a Game Day.  The city is taken over by Buckeye football, bars are filled with people cheering and having a great time.  Maybe you could see why some on here love it so much. Or come here some time and I'll take you to a game.  There is nothing like being in a stadium with 105,000 other people cheering the team to victory.  Maybe I'll make a believer out of you.

But really though man you're taking me all wrong.  I was just trying to give you a glimpse of why we love college football.  Its about the on field product for sure but it's also about the bands, pagentry, the rivalries, the cheering, the agony of defeat and the thrill of victory.  It's about being apart of something bigger than you.  We all have our own stress and problems and when I'm watching my team play that's all I think about just like when I'm riding.

Hence my original comment. You don't like football...good...we don't care.

You guys take yourselves too seriously......  I don't think your gay either.  Get a grip and relax, it was just in fun.

Not really...well, Metallimonster and Zilbert get pretty wound up  ...but mainly we're just tired of someone coming into every football/baseball thread and proclaiming they don't like that sport. It seems to happen every time. Who cares.

I may not follow it but I don't dislike it.  Nor do I think football or football players or fans are gay.  Hell pro ball players tend to have the hottest girls.  kinda hard to be gay when your hogging up the hotties.  I actually thought you all would laugh because if you choose not to be offended it is a pretty funny thought train.  I have been telling that joke in bars for years, usually during football games.  This is the first time anyone actually got offended.......

I guess it is the lack of hearing a "tone" in a post.........  oh well I am not offended you are, just disappointed.

What a game between Georgia and Tennessee. 

Ohio State is in a battle.

You guys can breath now. I know your assholes were sucking buttermilk for the past hour.
