I can attest to 1 and 5
8 and 11 are truly a miserable bunch
17, even though theyre a cult, are typically too weird to be miserable, except when big brother in Austin enters the conversation

All I can say about this thread, is what this kid is saying
but there are some miserable people posting on TKR

Jets, Mets and Rutgers combo is the worst. It explains why they are always miserable. However, that's their F-ing problem
When I saw the thread title I knew Mets, Jets, and Rutgers would all be near the top…only question was the order.
It's funny that 2008 rants about the Yankees thread as the dead zone but the Mets thread is 35k posts and 45 pages of throw up. Sometimes less is better!
Big Game Boomer - those fücks just make stuff up to get clicks.
And your posts are always positive. It's good to maintain a sense of humor!
I didn't realize at the time, but one of the best days of my life was when I was put on the "Yankees" in Little League t-ball. I was a short-term Mets fan before that but made the switch because of being on the team.
I can't even imagine the annual pain of following up a Rutgers football season with Mets baseball. I guess it's isolated, independent pain, at least, since the Mets are so rarely playing meaningful games come September.

I'm in the Mets/Rutgers group. I don't drink or do drugs either. It's just entertainment.
That's a superhuman pain tolerance level 😜
Rutgers FB makes me want to drink but since it's usually like 10 or 11 a.m., I abstain.
When I have a bad day at work during baseball season, I would think to myself that my day was better than being on the Mets. It's like that bumper sticker that says " A bad fishing is better than a good day at work."
Jets fans have experienced a lot of misery but the fans are not miserable.
There is positive energy at a Jets game - and ability to roll with the punches - is much higher than at a Rutgers game. Jets fans are very much “not entitled”.
Just my own perspective but lots of first hand experience.

Those people deserve lifetime achievement awards for their ability to eat $hit year after year and like it
Hey, F you dude, we are miserable.
...kidding. I kid.
But seriously, we are very miserable when stacked against other fanbases. We may not be miserable in the "metro area", but definitely stacked nationally, we are.
I actually think this a fanbase that is generally looking for positives. Despite all the losing
I think the majority of us do, but there is a group that is miserable even during times when we should be happy.
My cousin, a UT grad, is married to an A&M grad. Down there it's considered a mixed marriage.
You have that with every fanbase .
Overall, our expectations are low and we celebrate things like the NIT and the Pinstink bowl . We still wax poetic about finishing 3rd in the Big East in 2006.
Thats why I don’t think we are miserable.
We are definitely irrationally optimistic. Any shred of positivity we clutch to like golem and the ring. But, when things start to go awry we also absolutely lose our minds. We just eat our own too (see Mulcahy, Paul)
Yes! They also fought half the pacers and got their asses kicked but didn't care
I was around for the 1970 Superbowl 👍
Go Jets!
I watched Earl Morrell throw to a completely covered receiver with no one near Jimmy Orr, his primary target
