re: sign here if you left the troy game early

You going to the saints game Sunday or did you already sell them?

I'm going to Houston to see the Texans-Bears game

This thread is pretty damn late and random. That being said, I left before halftime.

I left right before halftime and I don't regret it. All the people who left early are responsible for Peveto to Northwestern St.

As disgusting as that game was, I knew I would be able to see the Bama/Ole Miss games. I would have never left if that was the only game I could have gone to the whole year.

stayed. froze my arse off, but stayed.

And what does that mean, exactly? You get an honorary foam finger?

I wasn't there but I guarantee you I wouldn't have been sitting there with my thumb in my arse when we were down to a fricking Sun Belt team 31-3. At that time there was no vision of an imminent comeback, or that Troy would snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

As a fan, it's my job to show my discontent with the current state of the program by leaving the fricking game.

So you sit up there and watch that bullshite all you want, but don't tell me how to deal with disappointment of that magnitude.

we played Troy this year?

I stayed

I would have left when LSU was down 31-3.

Because that's how you show your disapproval of a situation.

Yea, noone would has any idea that there's disapproval unless everyone leaves.

I was on call with work so I gave my tickets away and watched start to finish on Tigervision.

that is actually the opposite of what a "fan" does

Oh, "fan" in quotations. That's cool.

I bet your HD photo of empty stands in the third quarter with a "Disgrace" caption fits perfectly in your shrine of emoticons.

The difference between you and me is not in the extent of fanhood, but in appraisal of the situation. You think football is war, and that you lay your soul on the line and don't pull out until you're either victorious or have your limbs cut off. I think it's a sport - a spectator sport, one that provides entertainment and maintains a standard of competitiveness.

A defending national championship team does NOT go down to a Sun Belt team 31-3, and as that standard of competitiveness was no longer met, I would have fricking left.

It's a sport, man. Yes, I love the Tigers and I'm a fan whether they win out or run the table in reverse, but that doesn't mean I have to "tolerate" a disgraceful performance.
