There's a difference between a rational analysis and rationalizing. You've been in the latter category all season.

Most people are irrational when it comes to being a fan of football, and for the ones who aren't -- good for them. But for most of us, it's ok; it's just football.

Irrational sunshine pumping has never won a football team a game. It's debatable whether irrational bitching has given Lee an opportunity to win more games for us or not.

Let's look at this logically.
Sunshine pumping is worthless, but irrational bitching is ?????????
Negativity is a better approach to any situation, is that correct?
Positivity is wasted, is that correct?

Think it through. Or not. Logic isn't a surplus item around here.

Do tell the logical reasons which support your belief that unbridled positivity translates into football victories.

All I said is that MAYBE irrational bitching led to more playing time for the better qb -- Lee.

This is all we need. A team affecting vote from a silly person who thinks bump and run is a D-line alignment. (don't make me find that post)
99.9% of fans don't have a clue about major college football strategy, they just repeat what they hear.
There are cool sports polls you can vote in online and leave coaching to those the school pays to do it.

Ok I'll flip the premise on you and see how you logic applies.

But unproven, right? You ask the positive side to prove something that you admit the negative side can't. Logical?

However, if you want to pit neagtivity vs positivity, which did the players on the team employ? Were they supportive or unsupportive of Les Miles? How did the people that actually play the game react to the negativity spewed here?
Were they negative or positive?

Logician of the Rant, I was expecting more. I made a tentative suggestion that negativity may have had positive results. Who knows -- maybe Miles would have played Lee more even if everyone had closed their eyes and held their noses and thought nothing but happy thoughts about Jefferson all season.

Your "argument" amounts to repeating "think" endlessly and declaring yourself logical. I'm not convinced, however.

Yes, and even poor teams have put some points on them.

This presupposes that all the bitchin' and whinning actually made a difference. You need to prove that to someone other than yourselves. Before you award yourselves coaches of the year trophies, I'd like to see how the negativity caused positive results.

Ok if that activity is painful to you, I'll quit requiring it.

I was just pointing out the absolute illogical thinking of negative fans. The Debbie Downers seem to believe that being negative is the answer, but they have yet to prove that it is.
They think that being positive is counter productive, but they have yet to prove it.
All they have is unfounded bar talk. If that is all you need, go with whatever works for you.
It beats critical thinking.

Humbly, claiming that you are critically thinking isn't the same thing as critically thinking.
