Allergic to Kool-Aid
OSUK;2043500; said:I got you, but if you take all of these guys who are killing our friend who will be seeing uga/tech, if Michigan is up 4 td's in the 3rd qtr, most of them will head out to finish off the leaves in the yard. Sometimes it is not healthy to stay loyal to the end. :)
I've often resorted to recording games and waiting until I know the outcome before I watch (and not watching if it's a negative result.) Hence my relatively shallow psychic scars from '07--left the recording running & occupied myself elsewhere about 1 quarter in (then erased it a couple hours later). It's enough to know that Bambi's mother died--I don't need to watch her skinned and barbequed, too.
This practice originated because of 1) a conviction that I'm a toxic jinx to teams that I like if I watch them in real time (result of countless experiences affirming that belief, plus a misapplication of quantum physics theory--effect of the observer on the observed) and 2) a constitution unfit to endure the stress of uncertainty (i.e., craven coward).
Mostly I just don't enjoy having my still-beating heart ripped out and smushed into my face by some gloating, sneering opponent.
Very. bad. loser.
