So are you watching the Clemson-Bama game tonight or is it too painful?

by **Giant Moose** 2016-01-11, 09:33

I won't be watching. Will you?

by **Travis of the Cosmos** 2016-01-11, 09:34

It isn't that it's painful, it's that I usually get bored watching games that don't involve us. I'm sure I'll check in to see how pretty the grass looks. After that I'll move on.

by **Robert J Sakimano** 2016-01-11, 09:37

I have really watched a game yet this year.. not sure why I would start tonight.

by **NigelUno** 2016-01-11, 09:38

Someone needs to toughen up.

Probably our football team so they don't lose 38-0 in the CFP, right?

by **Watch Out Pylon!** 2016-01-11, 09:44

More jet sweeps. More Terry.

by **Blanch32** 2016-01-11, 09:44

I will. It will be an epic bro night

Careful. You might hurt your own feelings with comments like that.

can you put yourself on "stealth" to where you can't read your own posts, thereby lessening your chance to hurt your little cupcake feelings?

You are right. Izzo has us trained to get blown out in the Final Four of a major college sport already so I really should get over it.

I used to have nedgo or SpartanRocky decide what I should post, but I am unclear who fills that role here.

thankfully, at tSwill we can post pretty much anything because we understand that we're all Spartans.

over there, not so much - you'd better make sure you post only what the cool kids will allow. Freedom of thought, speech and expression will not be tolerated.

Again.

Hurting your own feelings.

Bob? Is there a psychological term for that?

by **Code_Warrior** 2016-01-11, 10:04

I'm totally watching it. We had our shot, got our butt kicked, and I was over it a few minutes after I was done watching it. Now I want to see how Clemson compares.

by Guest 2016-01-11, 10:06

I'll probably flip over there in between Antiques Roadshow and the Red Wings game.

probably many terms within the various traditional boundaries.. the most extreme being self harm. Early on it's commonly classified as depersonalisation or a dissociative state.

I'm not sure what the term is but whenever I feel down, I Google "Byrd kisses Spartan logo" and I feel instantly better.

it manifests itself into fully grown adults who leave the house dressed as professional wrestlers in an attempt to get attention secondary to something else missing in their life.

Can we get OTPT (or his sister if he really is dead) to weigh in on this? I think he studied something in college about this.

he's busy looking for a job..

or going to football games, or on ski trips.. or to Europe. When not looking for a job.

if I were to watch, I'd be pulling for Clemson too.

Not sure if I will watch. Kind of need a break from football, but I'm rooting for Alabama.

Part of me hopes Bama blows them out so we don't look so bad - but then it won't be very fun go watch. I don't know, I'm going to watch it but I'm not going to like it.

by **kingstonlake** 2016-01-11, 11:12

I hope Watson runs all over the field against bama. Mostly want to see Kiffin get wrecked.

Why is that a head scratcher? He's always accused of being a SCum troll and, in the mind of a walvie, Clemson competing is is just more ammo in the war of words.

Fixed.

by **GRR Spartan** 2016-01-11, 12:06

I'll watch because I really like college football and am interested if Alabama falls to contain another mobile QB with a fast paced offense that's built on improvisation.

Alabama beat MSU convincingly and Clemson handled Oklahoma. Should be a good game and the beauty of college football is next year every team will have new personnel on the field next year.

If it turns out to be a blowout I turn it off.

Some of you guys really put a lot of thought in this.

Like you may actually think MSU gets a little more street cred if Bama just kills Clemson?

Who cares...we lost. I want Bama to lose. Fuck em.

If its a blowout it will be Clemson blowing out the Tide.

We don't get more street cred. Bama and Clemson are the only ones who can get street cred. If bama kills Clemson, then only Bama gets street cred and Clemson joins the group of teams that got their ass beat.

but I really, really want people to view MSU in the best light possible. It's very important to me how other see us.

Seems like a lot of people on internet message boards care about petty stuff like that. But we can justify our ass beating if they beat another team's ass!

No...I want the gumps to lose.
