Look, if you want something to think about, do this. The next time your wife screws up dinner, treat her, talk to her, address her the way you blast this team. You love the Dawgs. you love your wife. This sort of behavior should be appropriate in both cases, right?
This really is a silly comparison. I don't pay to watch my wife cook dinner. I don't spend money on t-shirts and hats with my wife's name on them. My wife doesn't get a free education to make dinner, nor the chance to make millions making my dinner. She doesn't make 6 figures (as many of the coaches do) to make dinner. So treating her and the team you support the same way isn't even a legitimate comparison.
A more fair comparison would be going to your favorite restaurant, which you love, and your order not being cooked right. Some people would tell the waittress it wasn't right, but they ate it anyway, but the fries and salad were delicious. Some would say nothing at all. And some would complain to the manager and want if fixed or their money back. I think we know by everyone's posts on here which camp they fall in. No particular way is wrong, just shows that people have different attitudes and deal with adversity differently.
I for one am done complaining about Saturday's game, and am ready to move on to talking about kicking some Razorback @$$. However, for a day or two after a loss I vent, and I think that's healthy for me and helps me get past it, and it gets kind of old every loss hearing people say I shouldn't do that and that it's whining or crying. If you really don't like reading it, skip my posts for a day or two after a loss. Just my opinion, back to the discussion at hand.
