I get being disappointed, upset, frustrated, angry, etc. I get questioning the scheme, the play-calling, the failure to address the O-line quicker, in-game adjustments, the whole laundry list. I get all that.

I don't get the pure, unadulterated pleasure from seeing the team humiliated. To be as happy when we lose as most of us are when we beat Toledo or a Big 10 team.

I can see how some fan bases become so deeply jaded after decades of losing that they retreat into the comfort of detached cynicism, like an EMU or Kent, but we won the freaking MAC twice in the last decade. There's been success. This is something else.

People would rather take pleasure in self-vindication of "I told you so!" over anything else. It's what our society as a whole has become. Everyone has to feel like they're the smartest person in the room.

Yep, it’s the same thing one does when they win a bet. They make sure a random message board knows they bet against BG. Tweeting the bets isn’t enough.

Jpfalcon has been taking Rogue posts on here as is own information, and tweeting the information to local news sources (Strack) for quite a while now. Save us the lecture pal.

Too bad I always verify that information first with a person I trust within the athletic department. And unlike others on here, I keep a lot of information confidential that I'm told about.

Sorry...I can spot a guy who's in over his head. Loeffler's in over his head. I also understand that our athletics department and its supporters are...generally speaking...easily duped by the fool's gold of a win here or there. I want the losses to mount because it's the quickest path to getting this excuse machine out of town
It's not the fall that hurts...it's when you hit the ground.
