everyone laugh at duke

What if you lose a really big bet?


oooohhhh....now thats a totally different reason for crying. it's very understandable to cry over losing money but only if it's a large amount.

i am assuming your talking about a large amount of money when you say "big bet".

Yep. I don't get sad, I get mad. It is so frustrating to see my team lose -- especially for stupid reasons, or playing below their potential.

thats right, i never feel sad either. i just sometimes feel pissed off.

Paulus flops. I remember seeing this in the game and laughed but i didn't notice he didn't even get touched.

that's why habitual floppers should be ejected and suspended to get that crap out of sports.

Definitely. That should have been a foul on Paulus. I'm thinking a technical would do. It'd be hard to enforce, but I guess you'd only call it when it's blatantly obvious.

Yeah i am tired on band wagoneers. You need to have a reason to be a fan. It doesn't even need to be a good reason. My brother is a Cubs fan because they were the first baseball team he ever saw play. Good enough. Proximity is obviously the best reason.

BUT IF THE REASON YOU LIKE A TEAM IS BECAUSE THEY ARE GOOD OR HAVE BEEN GOOD THEN YOU DESERVE A THOUSAND LIT CIGAREETES TO THE GROIN. IT IS TOTALLY PATHETIC TO RALLY BEHIND A WINNER ONLY BECAUSE THEY WIN.

I couldnt disagree more. I like Duke because of tradition, and their head coach. Now it's completley different if I were to say after they won a national championship the next day I'm a fan. But you dont need a reason to be a fan of a football team. I became a Redskins fan the year they won the Super Bowl in 1991 when I was 6 years old, do I deserve 1,000 cigarettes to the groin? Common. Some people dont live in sports towns like DC, where they can grow up watching all these pro sports teams, and need to find national teams to root for, sorry. There is no right or wrong reaosn to be a fan of a team. But I think theres a huge difference between being a bandwagoner and liking a team who has been good because of the tradition and they are fun to watch. Shit the only team I have that I have a "reason" like yours for is the Stl Carindals cause I was lucky enough to go to a game when I was young. I just think some people dont understand how some peopl eneed to pick teams if they arent really in a sports market.

Nice, MALCOM! lol

I'll admit that I'm a total homer for all the DC teams, and for UMD because that's there my dad went (I went to a DIII school with a great LAX program, so I can't watch them on TV) and now we have season tickets for football. I guess I was just lucky to grow up in an area with a ton of teams to root for, even if they're not always that great.

:rofl: duke blows monkey balls.GO UK!!!!!
