This game was UNFAIR!!!

From start to finish this game was simply unfair.

1. First of all, there are too many rules. We kept committing penalties. Can't run into this guy. Too late to hit that guy. We moved too soon. We grabbed hold of somebody. Just too many damned rules.

2. Purdue was wearing black at night. How are you supposed to find a player dressed in all black at night? Last year we played at Iowa at night when they were wearing black and the same thing happened. Two years in a row just isn't fair.

3. Our best player can't play for us anymore. That makes me sad and I am sure it makes our players sad. It is hard to play at your best when you are sad.

4. We have not one - but TWO thousand yard rushers. We haven't sorted that out yet. We shouldn't have to play at night against guys wearing black jerseys until we have sorted that out.

5. Our quarterback is setting season records for passing yards. When you are trying to figure out where you are in the record book you have to do a lot of math in your head and that makes it difficult to keep track of where all your receivers are - not to mention the defenders who are all wearing black at night.

6. The fans were wearing black too. There were some red jerseys in the stands but it was hard to see them because of all the damned black. And they were yelling really loud which makes it hard to do math or find players who are wearing black or sort out your thousand yard rushers. Especially when you are sad.

7. But most of all it is the coaching. The Purdue coaches had clearly planned all week to do things that exploited our teams weaknesses . Our coaches didn't do that. In fact, they didn't even try to fix those weaknesses. It just doesn't seem fair.

8. I think we should play this game over. During the day. After we get over losing our best player and have learned all the rules and sorted our our two thousand yard rushers and maybe fixed some of our weaknesses and stopped doing math in our heads.
 
Jesus Christ, tell me about it. I'm always mad as hell during a game and then I have to feel like shit for rooting for sick people to be disappointed. Fuck you ABC.

Right? The whole thing ended up being obnoxious. Go to the James on a home football Saturday and see how many people are there. My wife was at the James with her mother during the Rutgers game and texted me about all the people going to the waiting room to watch the game. Her mom died at 2:00 the next morning....less than two weeks after she was diagnosed. Where's her fucking dog-and-pony show? I feel for the kid, but ABC's handing of it really pissed me off, too.

Edit - and what makes me even madder is that now I am angry at myself for being annoyed with about a dying kid having his day in the sun. I know it's petty and stupid and it shouldn't bother me, but god damnit.... sports are my escape from the dark realities of our miserably short existences.

Damn dude, I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah it's fucking tough to have stuff like this get pulled out and exhibited and then shoved back in a corner only to be wheeled out later on.

When teams dedicate their home game (Super Bowl) to a terminally ill kid against Ohio State...they win. Totally unfair.

9. The sick kids thing everyone mentioned above.

10. Once we are in the redzone, there is too little field left to execute our vertical game and it makes it too difficult to score. We should not be asked to play in such unfair conditions. The endzones should be, AT MINIMUM, 40 yards deep so that we are not at a disadvantage to teams that can run effectively.

Knowing your post was tongue in cheek, my comment meant that it sounded like something The Cult would be saying in earnest. "copypasta" is internet jargon for "copy and paste"
Guess my comment sounded better in my head than it looked in print.

believe me! Alot of things sound good in my head.......it must be all the voices!
