So, yeah.

In my opinion, that's not irrational at all.

That's an honest release of emotions.

Ain't nothin' wrong with that. That game was all happiness in the beginning which turned to anger in the end. You had to release some sort of emotion.

I'd be nice to you pony. Xxoo


I don't assault people with cow bells and chunk them at mascots anymore. Took a rebel flag on a stick from an ole miss fan once and smacked him in the mouth. He complained to a black state trooper at the gate. needless to say he got no sympathy. I forgot about that one. Hey he was invading my personal space.

We threw oranges at Tennessee one year. Does that count?

I've mellowed somewhat nowadays.

Nah, I've been a Memphis football fan since 1989. You quickly learn stoicism.

Ever punched a wall, ignored a call from spouse, yell at someone, etc?

I know ECU's loss to Arkansas made me a different person for a couple of hours.

Of course so . I've been an ast Carolina fan since I was a teenager. As I grow older almost 35 now I'm able to control my emotions and keep things in perspective more really in the last five years. I'll give you a funny example in 2007 when we played UNC in Greenville and they were lining up for the go ahead Field Goal with 50 seconds left I was so angry that when the snap was bad and they had to try to run a fake and we tackled them for a loss I got so emotional I started laughing and crying at the same time! I watched our drive for the winning field goal while crying and smiling and screaming when we kicked the winning field goal I never saw it I couldn't look when it was good and I heard the crowd reaction I immediately started screaming and laughing uncontrollably started hugging my wife and there was this 15-year-old kid sitting beside me at the stadium he went to give me a high-five and I started hugging him too lol.

Thats glorious
