We are demoralized and/or could care less

100%. That term should never come into any kind of sports analogy. Always hated the ahole commentators who would call out an athlete as “cancer” in the locker room. Anyone who has ever dealt with that disease at any level would never use the term so flippantly. Disgusting.
I don't know either one of you but if he's right it's not an insult. Just a statement of fact. So you guys can duke it out to which one it is. :)
Like who? I would wager pretty confidently that there are more GS haters here then Schiano cultist (Not sure what that even means). Lump this in with the guy who would rather have cancer than lose and the other one who compared football fans to people involved in one of the biggest mass suicides in history and I think that it's not the GS fans that have a warped sense of reality here.
TBH.....I'm becoming demoralized and caring less for this board because d-bags like this poster.
Speak for yourself.
Just found out my in-laws are coming up for Thanksgiving.
I'd be more thrilled to attend RU-PSU with 44,306 PSU fans.

Pretty sad example of a rebuild by using UConn
NC state 41-10
Michigan-59-0
Syracuse 48-14
Utah state 31-20
You can have their rebuild
Uconns schedule has enough patsies to make a bowl possible, but got beaten like a drum against better
They did win a game or two noteworthy but they are not a solid div 1 team nor will ever be
I gave you facts. You fault GS for not beating Iowa and Minnesota. Iowa won the B1G West last year and Minnesota won 9 games last year. Even I don’t have that high of an opinion of GS to say those are gimmes.
Since UConn is not in a football conference anymore, I would never use the term “rebuild” for their program
long term, they are dead in the water
A really good football prospect should never wind up there if he has choices
As I have said before, they can pull the occasional upset, but they will not get relevant
It was obviously a satirical post. Plum posts about the fans attitude and people respond with comparisons to real life situations. It's an absurd straw man argument that no one brought up.
This “real-life” argument is hilarious. Talk about self-defeating rationalizations.
It’s not strawman unless you somehow have a way of escaping real life when watching or discussing football. We all exist “in real life” all the time no matter what activity were engaged in. So comparisons of one aspect of that real life, RUFB fan-hood, to another aspect of that real life, whatever it might be, are perfectly valid.
What’s invalid is failing to recognize that and treating the time we spend, or emotions we feel, on sports as some sort of alternative universe in which our behavior doesn’t count.
“I’m innocent, your honor! I killed all those people while at a football game. Not in real life!”. 🤣
but fandom is not real life . The emotions we feel with a devastating football loss are different than emotions we feel with a devastating loss in a facet of real life . Same on the flip side with the emotions we experience after a win.
After a big win, my wife yells at me to take out the garbage . After a devastating loss , my wife yells at me to take out the garbage
This is so indicative of their schedule. When you have a fair amount of powerderpuff games, your team doesn't get beat down exposing your lack of talent and/or depth. Put them against a meat grinder of a schedule like the Big 10 or the SEC, hell, probably any power 5 conference, and see how they're fairing 8-10 games into the season. That reminds me of RU in the late 70's/early 80's when we beat Tennessee and almost beat Alabama: we had 6-8 1AA teams or low level 1A teams on the schedule, so we could absorb playing 1-3 top teams. But once the schedule changed where we were playing mostly 1A teams in the east, well, Grunninger's Folly reared its ugly head.
Plus we were playing our 3rd string QB against Iowa. And on the road against Minnesota we played our 2nd string QB (playing for the future) and had just lost our stud freshman RB.
That's a tough one...........could you give your tickets to your in-laws and send them on a 3 day road trip to see the game?
Let me comment that satire is hard to convey in a post. You practically have to say at the end, "BTW, that was satire."
Bingo. And that’s why coaches at this level get paid millions to make sure you have talent and depth
Then why are you even talking about demoralization? Is this some fantasy version of demoralization that isn't real life demoralization?
Are we talking, like, inconsequential demoralization? A version of not-real-life demoralization where I'm demoralized over being forced to sleep with a busload of my favorite sexy movie actresses all the time?
Look, Dante gave us a clear definition of the many levels of Hell. So I'm expecting Plum Street's clear definition the many levels of demoralization. I want to see at least a 10,000 words on the subject. And they better be your words, no plagiarizing.
I understand the interview before Ash Hobbs was talking to a wall of peeling paint.
5 words down, 9,995 to go. Define "demoralized from a sports perspective" and explain how that differs from demoralized in general.
Good point. One of the most misused phrases "Could Care Less".
Irregardless 😜 🥴 , some of us still care, and for some, we care a lot. A homage to Faith No More (irony is ironic) great and appropriate lyrics:
We care a lot!
We care a lot!
About disasters, fires
Floods and killer bees
There is hope for the future with the performance of the defense and special teams. The portal needs have been identified. Gavin will continue to improve.
I am sorry that you just don't understand that in college football each year's team is a separate entity and sometimes is only loosely connected to the prior year's team. The fact that Iowa and Minnesota were good last year has nothing to do with how they are performing this year and the fact that they are mediocre at best this year. The records don't lie, Schiano is 0-3 against B1G teams that are 14-13 this year. That is simply unacceptable in the 3rd year of a rebuild. You can try and spin it any way you would like, but you are what your record says you are, that is the great thing about competitive sports.
It is still year 3. But schiano whiffed on the OC, OL and QB these first 3 years. Those are program killers. It does take time to build a program and it’s only year 3. IF we are having the same posts in 3 years from now he should be fired.
