Both serious basketball people and people who aren't really college basketball people. It's weirding me out.
Yeah, I’m already nervous. I’ll be pacing tomorrow and if we make it far enough, completely inconsolable
Braves playoff run to the World Series I couldn’t even watch most of it. Gamecasted more than I didn’t it on my phone. This will be the same if not worse
Didn’t miss a single pitch of that one. Braves were not at all expected to do that, so that was just fun, imo. This is a different kind of pressure and especially with all of planet earth pulling against us
I'm doing my best to do the same thing with this Bama run as I did with that Braves run - be in the gym/stadium at all times so I won't be nearly as nervous. Worked then, hope it works now. Of course I was also in the stadium for the 10 run first inning 2 years prior so it's not an automatic LOL
Rafferty talking to Willard from Maryland and the back of the heads of Nantz, Grant Hill and Tracy Coaaaaaaach Wolfson
Tracy Wolfson holds a special place in my heart for all the Bama games she did when I was in college. She was awesome.
clearly the board wants a thread to dunk on oats and miller, let them have it. better than clogging up this thread with randos
That thread is simply an excuse for posters to feel better by shitting on Alabama and then claiming sole objectivity in this matter and moral superiority over us inbred Bama fans who will do anything to win.
Anytime I leave this thread and read some of the stuff that other humans that are theoretically my age and similar station in life talk about and talk like.......where do these people operate in a face to face, normal human engagement environment? I don't live in some small bubble - I work in Atlanta and specifically work and engage with people across the political/religious/cultural background spectrum due to the nature of the specific sector of my profession. And I don't come across anyone who behaves, engages or converses in the same way 90% of this board seems to (this is in general, not necessarily that thread). But maybe that's just the difference in internet engagement and actual real world engagement. You see similar stuff on Twitter, I guess, and some of those are actually people with their name attached to their commentary. I dunno. But it's fascinating.
just woke culture in general. If you don’t have an opinion in an online setting that aligns with obliterating people that make mistakes you’re a huge piece of shit.
I dunno about woke culture, it seems to just be anonymous tribalism (same stuff exists on the MAGA spectrum in different online communities) and on Twitter. But it's more interesting on a place like this because people are anonymous in terms of their actual name and person, but your "Anonymous Name" gets its own reputation and therefore creates a persona that is crafted based on how you respond to the lightning rod events discussed here (because you don't discuss mundane shit on a message board, you only discuss loud shit). I'm sure there are millions of books and longform articles out there on the uniqueness of message board "culture" that I could read if I was truly interested. Day only has 24 hours, though, and there are shot analysis charts on Texas A&M CC to get through.
it’s fascinating. I think it’s funny and don’t take it seriously at all. I know I’m a really good person
