If that managed to make today's game fun for you then it sounds like a cure for cancer
Life is a lot bigger than whether or not 18-22 year old kids play a good football game.
Just avoid ISU athletics and your nuts will thank you forever.
I stay away from game day and post game threads, social media, and texts from certain people. The negativity and overreactions are too much for me.
I started doing this about a year ago. I check in and out of the game on TV and stay off of social media/CF during that time. I know it doesn’t make me a die hard, but it works for me. When I get angry I have to remind myself that none of this matters.
I have often found myself coming to the CF game thread if I’m mad about the game and want validation of my anger.
Just understand that people freaking the **** out in game threads are complete nutjobs.
Social media is the cause of everything bad in society...just look at the divide on e everything in the US and around the world. Nobody enjoys hearing opinions that don’t match their own.
Game threads are a complete waste of time, this isn't unique to CF though.
I think you could say people freaking the **** out in any thread over a football or basketball game are complete nutjobs.
I watch sports for entertainment. ISU is the only team that can get my blood pressure up.
So I turn the channel if I'm not enjoying the game. It's that simple.
People who get so fired up over pro sports are misguided. Why get flipping angry over a guy doing his job?
Sports are entertainment. If I'm not entertained I just move on.
When I hit 30, it’s like some magical switch flipped for me. I stopped caring about the results of the game after the game. Like, I still get into the game, and my heart beat thumps and my blood pressure goes up, but after the game is over, I just move on. I celebrate a win. If we lose, I’m down for a couple of minutes, but I move on. It’s a game. People that can’t separate themselves from that have major problems.
this is a great way of looking at it. I do the same with ISU. If I started to get pissed off, I just change the channel and take a break.
After spending 3.5 hours watching that, I get why people are emotional. But it would be nice if they stayed rational. I mean there is a thread on the front page about how Matt Campbell is overrated. All while we still have a chance to win 8 games for the 3rd straight year FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 40+ YEARS!
Sports and social media is all about entertainment value and if by using one diminishes the value other than I can't blame you from staying away. Personally I actually do enjoy the in game thread because I am the type of person who doesn't get too high or too low about what is happening during the game, and I can make dumb jokes/observations about the game which adds to my entertainment.
I'm the same way anymore, I get super psyched and excited for the wins but the losses just don't really affect me anymore honestly. I'm comfortable with knowing we're not going to win them all, even some of the ones we should win, much more enjoyable to focus on the good times than be upset about the bad times.
