Nerves: LSU Football

Do you guys find yourself more nervous while at the game, or while watching it on CBS?
Personally, I find it way more nerve racking while watching it on CBS watching all of the pregame BS and all...

Nerves: LSU Football
Something I've had to battle my entire history of following the Tigers. Grew up listening on radio with my family in the early 60's. I've just accepted that nerves are a part of my LSU experience. Sometimes during close games, I go to my car and listen to Hawthorne's call knowing I DVR the games.
With that said, 2 totally different experiences and I would have to say tailgating and seeing a game Live cuts the edge somewhat.

Maybe it's because I've had a few drinks when I'm in TS 
, but I would just rather be surrounded by 92k+ ppl who are just as pissed/excited as me.
Worst is watching at a non-lsu bar

The CBS coverage and especially the intro music makes me petty nervous.

No comparison, I have CAD and in person Tigers or Saints, no nitrates required, watching on TV no matter what the score, I'd be in the emergency room by the end of the first quarter if I followed the instructions. Being at the game is much less stressful.

On TV for sure. When I'm in TS, I have the utmost confidence that we'll win.

Just moved to ATL, I'm gonna be hearing those bozos on CBS much more than I used to

Never thought about it but Im usually nervous as hell (big game) watching at home. When watching at TS I always feel like we'll win.

Baseball makes me more nervous than football.
Posted on 8/8/12 at 8:30 pm to Gekko
I get more anxious watching it on TV.
Posted on 8/8/12 at 8:46 pm to Gekko
I feel just as nervous either way, but at least when I'm at home I can walk out of the room if I get too worked up. At a game when it's going badly and I can't really walk out and get totally away from the game, I can usually only pick at my fingernails or something.

Yeah, but you can MF Les if you're in TS and he might here you...

i get crazy at games, just yelling when on defense, and shouting at the offense when they mess up or celebrating when they make a good play...but when im in the living room i cant let all that energy out when theyre playing defense by yelling at the top of my lungs before the play..so more nervous energy builds up then...ya know what im saaayyyiinn..

My tally-whacker definitely goes into turtle mode when watching on tv, TS gives me more confidence for sure!
