Negativity

[OldManCane]

Some of you guys are so negative, I legitimately feel bad for you. I don't know how you go through life that way.

Relax. You live in a beautiful city. Go to the beach. Watch the World Cup. Have a cerveza and a rack of ribs. Give it a rest until football season starts.

I like college football as much as the next guy, but put it in to perspective. Outside a couple states in the south, nobody in the country or around the world gives a single **** about our unpaid 18-22 year old semi-pro football league.

You ever wonder why the best team in our sport is in a hokie, backwater town like Tuscaloosa Alabama and not a major city? That's why. Because nobody in the real world, in places like London, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, gives a single flying **** about college kids playing football.

So take it for what it is. A nice hobby or side-interest. Don't get so ******* invested and emotional to where it drags you down. Some of you get so worked up and stressed about the minutia surrounding our little school team it's difficult to understand.

i am liking the post for one reason - cause its going to get all the negative nancies' panties in a bunch.

Would neg you back but that gif made me laugh, that guy got blasted.

 

[Classic]

So because the Frogs don't care about college football, it's not all that important, "when put in to perspective"?

Fugoff.

With the exception of friends and family, there's not a **** thing that's "important" "when put in to perspective".

The negativity around here can be exhausting. That point, submerged by your painful analysis, is well received. If we'd only beaten Louisville, this offseason would be so much more enjoyable.

But we didn't. And yet, I still love college football and adore my 'Canes.

It's alright to be critical of the staff, **** I'm not even a big D'Onofrio fan but I see some people around here legitimately getting worked up about it.

Trying to put it in to perspective, this is no different from obsessing over a high school football team.

I don't know who the frogs are but nobody gives a **** about college football. It's not really any different from obsessing about high school football which, so you know, is also weird.

Basically a lot of you guys are creepy, weird older men obsessing about the athletic performance of 18-22 year old kids who aren't even being paid for it.

Let that sink in.

 

[Canefam]

I agree with you old school Cane. Pay no attention to those bitter, jobless or poor ***, brainless, punks! Go Canes!

Why do you feel the need to counsel posters on a message board? First, the likelihood of it influencing your intended audience - in the way you purportedly intend - is nonexistent. Second, do you actually care about these posters' feelings? If so, then aren't you ignoring your own advice?

And the contention that we should not care about CFB because people from the "real world," which you define as NY, LA, and two foreign cities, don't is not only bizarre, but factually wrong. First, USC and UM are from cities that fall within your description of the real world, and each has dominated CFB for long stretches. Nor would anyone rightly describe Palo Alto as "hokie [and] backwater," and Stanford has been a top team over the past several years as well. Second, there are huge numbers of fans from big cities that follow CFB religiously.

 

[Cane Dynasty]

Fvck Dorito Golden and the embarrassment that he's had the ballz to trot out on the field attempting to pass off as a coaching staff.

Save the candy for Halloween.

With no respect at all, who gives a crap what the girls in Paris, NYC, LA, or London think. If the truth be known only thing that matters is God and salvation, in the big picture, and the self-proclaimed better than anyone fools in those cities spend time at all thinking about that. So if we decide to get a little to worked up over young kids playing games instead of an non-*** "artist" splashing some substance on something and calling it art, what is it to you. And as a matter of fact, get out of your cab and take a walk in those areas of the cities mentioned where REAL people live -- you know one that sweat when they work for a living - and see what they think in important. Tell a REAL person in London their "football" isn't important and they are silly to be worried about it. Or the south side of LA, or outside the high rent districts of NYC. Now I'll give you Paris, nobody their thinks anything at all.

I agree with you old school Cane. Pay no attention to those bitter, jobless or poor ***, brainless, punks! Go Canes!

A lot of these guys have a poverty mindset, and that's probably why they're poor.

I stated what I believe to be fact, how it affects any of you is up to you. In other words, I tell it like I see it.

To your other question, I rattled off the first four big cities I could think of. USC? HAAHAHAHA buddy.... Los Angeles doesn't give one **** about USC just like Miami doesn't give one **** about the canes. No offense. If the city of Miami gave a ****, we would have 10x more money than Alabama. But they don't, and we don't.

Stanford? Their own students don't even give a **** about that team.

College football has a small and religious following outside the south, but it's far, far from the mainstream. New York, LA, these are NFL towns. So is Miami.

The only place where college football has a big following is the old slave states down south. It is what it is.

The difference is professional football players or soccer players or whatever are GROWN MEN and they're PAID to do what they do.

They have crazy fanboys obsessing over them too, but at least they're making a few million for it.

You guys constantly rip on college students.

This Jake Heaps thing for example. Y'all are ripping on this kid, he is moving to Miami from ******* KANSAS, he's probably going to be living hand to mouth in a small apartment the size of my bedroom because the ******* NCAA won't let student athletes make a living, and on top of that he has a wife and a kid to support.

But you guys want to tear in to the kid before he's even arrived.

Says the guy who owns and posts on an account for a message board dedicated to a team full of said "athletic performance of 18-22 year old kids".

We'll stop obsessing when you do.

And IDGAF about what London/Paris/Tokyo/Istanbul/Kabul/Cairo/Djibouti/Timbuktu/Shanghai/Whatthefvckistan think about College Football. I'm a fan. I'm a Cane, and that's what I'll discuss...positive, negative, or otherwise.

Your comments do not affect me at all. I'm asking why you are apparently impacted by what others post here. Specifically, you said that you "legitimately feel bad" for posters and counsel them to "Relax[, because] you live in a beautiful city."

Los Angeles doesn't give one **** about USC just like Miami doesn't give one **** about the canes. No offense. If the city of Miami gave a ****, we would have 10x more money than Alabama.

Wow. You have an astounding grasp on the obvious. Of course college football is bigger in college towns than in big cities, because the college towns do not have professional sports. Most people (though not me) prefer professional sports to college. So for fans who have both where they live generally are more passionate about the pro teams. But so what. That does not mean a team from a big city or a non-hokie town cannot be successful, as demonstrated by UM, USC, and Stanford.

And it also does not mean there are not a huge number of college football fans in big cities. Notre Dame and Michigan have huge numbers of fans in NY and Chicago. I live in NVA (outside DC) and there is a big following for UF, Va Tech, Notre Dame, and USC among others.

But again, who gives a **** what people in your definition of the real world care about? Why does that matter, even slightly?

Difference is I'm a FAN of the team, meaning I SUPPORT the team. I donate to the school where I can, I go to games, I clap, and I cheer. It's a fun thing for an old man to do.

What I DON'T do is get all up in arms negative about how down in the dumps you think we are. I don't rip on college kids living hand to mouth and working their butts off just because they have a bad day on the field.

I take this sport for what it is - a great chance for most of these young men to get an education, and a great chance for some of these young men to make a professional career out of football. Winning is nice too. But win at all costs? Not at this level.

If you're that kind of fan, root for the Dolphins.

And where do South Bend, Ann Arbor, Columbus, fall within you definition of old slave states down south?

More ignorance being spewed by your ***.

Go tell that to the kids in Happy Valley, Madison Wisc., Pullman WA, Lawrence KS, ANN Arbor Mich., South Bend IN, Columbus OH. etc...etc..etc...


Once again. You don't know wtf you are talking about. Yet you continue to spew ignorance and want people so suck it up like you are some kind of wizened old sage or something.

GTFO
