I drove through South Carolina today and had the pleasure of listening to some guy named Walt talk about how Miami isn’t a threat to Clemson for two hours. It was embarrassing that they feel the need to defend themselves against such lesser programs.
If you hear college sports talk on the radio while youre in this state; step one is to change the channel. Its basically like a rivals homeboard in audio form.
Is it okay if I make fun of Nebraska fans, except Soup. He was always awesome. If it was funny in the least, I wouldn't care. But the above post makes me cringe.
What world does he live in where he thinks the Dukes Mayo bowl can throw out 10K x 170 players just for them to wear some shitty tshirts.
I like it but he set the bar a little too high. Put $2500 checks in their bowl gift package and call it a day.
1.7mil payout to players isnt terribly bad considering all these bowl games are tax write offs that give them millions in advertisement
I think the top level ones would have no trouble with it. I dont think thats the case for all of them though. Some of them dont even pay out 1.7mil to the schools combined.
Sorry, I keep quoting, I have a stupid Android that's pretty old. Keep hitting reply and it still quotes.
You seem to have a similar cycle on here, say something shitty and then have extreme remorse. Any idea why?
Yes, because I relapsed on that night. It's no excuse, but I don't really even remember that night. I'm a self-professed alcoholic with a Xanax problem. I don't care to admit it. I am sober as I type, but as an addict with anxiety problems, it's either your really high up or down. The next day I re-read the post and was really down, I started drinking at noon. Like I said it's no excuse, and I promise you I'm a good person. It's just when people continue to pile on you like that, it's not good, even if it's a message board. Then add on people talking about really good people (my parents) and the way they raised me, it kind of hurts. Bottom line, I relapsed but this is this first time I've said it, as it is no excuse for what I said, but since you asked I felt the need to explain. I wasn't thinking black or white, but just drunk out of my mind.
There is a support system on here for alcoholics and addicts. It’s great that you recognize when you act inappropriately. If this isn’t the place to find help I hope you find it somewhere.
Oh, I have. I was sober for two months straight, but some personal stuff happened. I'm not a horrible poster when I'm sober, but when I'm drunk out of my mind (hence the whole OSU debacle) several months ago, it's bad. That's why I felt the need to apologize because I feel terrible.
I promise I’m not trying to drop extra shit on you and I recognize that you have apologized but why do you think you revert to posting some really shitty stuff when you’re drunk?
The whole OSU started about something about Cancer. That's how my mom passed away, so I got really pissed. I was so hammered Tuesday, because my tolerance went way down, I'm honestly don't know. But when I looked back at my posts trying to rationalize what I said...they were bad. It might be some underlying thing, I honestly don't know.
Sorry to hear you're struggling, Phil. We all have our demons. This can actually be a really great place to bounce ideas off others and find a path to lasting help. Just know you're not alone. Best wishes to you as battle.
professionalizing college athletics not including him making ten mill a year is a wild way to frame it
