"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

— Theodore Roosevelt

At least they are playing. When they get up on Saturday morning they are not planning a day of being a fat arse drunk on the couch, they are getting taped up to wear the Purple and Gold or Crimson and White or what ever color your team may be.

Think about that and then ask yourself, "what the frick have I ever done?"

You are certainly entitled to say whatever you want, but that freedom does not protect you from the consequences. There are times when I wish a player could find out the poster's identity and show up at their front door, asking if there was anything else said poster would like to add before they got their arse whipped.

Many times, I've shared Jack Daniels in the South End Zone of Tiger Stadium with Bama fans. That's got to count for something, right?

Great post. There is rich irony when someone who is mediocre in all aspects of his own life demands perfection from college kids. It sometimes makes me embarrased to be sports fan.

How lewd. Every single student at LSU is getting an education that is greatly subsidized by tax dollars, whether they are on scholarship or not. Do you demand perfection from every student? Where you a perfect student? I sure hope so given that I subsidized you with my tax dollars.
