Dear FB,

I was bamboozeled in 1983 as an 8 yr old kid getting into basketball. My entire family are all UNC fans. I barely remember when UNC won in 82 and we had UNC sodas... So when State won in 83 I became the black sheep of my family and was a State fan.

Then they sucked in sports for the next 40+ years... I told my son to never pull for a loser... Pick UNC for basketball and Clemson in football... be a bandwagoner... it's so much better.

My son last night asked me why he has no State apparel.... just like his father, he's gonna get bamboozeled too.

This is unbelievable!!!!

Let's take the time to pour one out for DollaChoppa who still hasn’t posted since he committed seppuku after the Covid policies he enthusiastically supported got NC State kicked out of the CWS.

lol, i’ve lived in probably the best era ever to be an LSU fan.

Maybe someone 10-15 years older than me would have it slightly better but I got 90s LSU Baseball launching LSU into the blood blood discussion as a kid, 2000-2020s football, a final 4 in Basketball, multiple final 4/ and a Natty in WBB.

My son is 2.5 and we’ve won a couple championships since he was born but i’m worried he missed the best years. I definitly had the “omg what am I doing to this kid” moment in 2021 while I rocked my newborn and sang him the fight song right before Kentucky blew our doors off.

Second Edition, 1965

According to Fowler's Modern English Usage by R.W. Birchfield, a collective noun is a noun that is normally singular in form and denotes a collection or number of individuals.

BBC Styleguide is in complete agreement, however, is when it comes to sports teams:

In sport, teams are always plural. England are expected to beat the Balearic Islands.

Fowler's Modern English Usage splits the collective noun issue along geographical and political lines:

In British English, collective nouns can be singular or plural, so long as attendant pronouns follow suit. In American English the choice is much more restricted—i.e. the choice is singular.
