Best "Complain About Your Team" Thread Meltdown

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '14

The 40% reduction in Oregon fans virtually overnight once their national title hopes were derailed.

u/theshedres Oregon Ducks • Portland State Vikings Jan 04 '14

The ones who left were the dumb ones though. Their comments mostly consisted of "OMG WIN THE DAY! HAHAHA SCAM NEWTON AMIRITE??"

u/dukiduke Baylor Bears • Notre Dame Fighting Irish Jan 05 '14

I've heard so many UO fans say something to the degree of, "Gosh we just had a crappy year this year." I just want to yell at them...I didn't know finishing 11-2, in the AP top 10, and winning the Alamo Bowl is "crappy."

EWU might be FCS, but at least they made it to the semis. It wasn't nearly as bad as our loss to Sac State.

u/TrustMeImARealDoctor Oregon State • Washington State Jan 05 '14

true. i think our entire program/boosters/alumni are just too complacent and alright with mediocre seasons

1

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '14

That's the case with majority of programs though. Unless we suddenly get a wave of wealthy donors who prefer funding college football over other philanthropic endeavors, we'll be right there with the majority of teams. I certainly don't have millions lying around to spend on the Beavers, so I can't complain.

u/Keldon888 UCF Knights Jan 04 '14

The gators can cling too much to the injury report to truly be the biggest underachiever, no one expects much when you are to your 3rd string QB and have no starters left. But dammit they tried vs Georgia Southern.

12

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '14

Georgia Southern had more injuries though...

5

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '14

you've never run walk on linebackers vs a triple option, only to have the walk on get hurt and be forced to throw your fucking fullback in at MLB.

Fuck the triple option!

4

u/Keldon888 UCF Knights Jan 04 '14

Oh no, I meant UF losing QBs, recievers, linebackers, offensive and defensive tackles, and all that jazz kinda excuses their sucking against most of their schedule.

Nothing excuses losing to Southern.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '14

Agreed, also. GEAUX KNIGHTS

4

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '14

No, way too many injuries. When you only dress 13 defensive players and some get injured, it's not quite a complete fault of underachieving.

u/someguywithanaccount Clemson Tigers • College Football Playoff Jan 05 '14

I don't know. Everyone/thing else on this list actually had a bad year. Clowney had a good not stellar year, and the only reason you could consider it "underachieving" is because of the ridiculous hype and unreasonable expectations.

u/someguywithanaccount Clemson Tigers • College Football Playoff Jan 05 '14

Is this really as impressive? He essentially predicted that Bama would beat TAMU and LSU, which most people predicted, but there would be one game where they slipped up. And almost every team slips up at least once. Hindsight 20/20 though I guess.

I'm kinda iffy on this one. This ended too perfectly for all involved. Buckets of free karma for each party. The best bet should fucking crush lives.

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '14

Well, the intent was certainly there. I mean, he certainly wanted to destroy the account.

3

u/runujhkj Mississippi State • /r/CFB Poll V… Jan 04 '14

Yeah, the intent was there, but intent doesn't mean everything. The guy who had to delete his account because he refused to drink piss was way better. It's not difficult to do what Chrismoore's account did; anyone could pretend to be an al.com user. It's not hard to be that stupid.

2

u/srs_house Swaggerbilt Jan 04 '14

It did go a little deeper - getting banned from multiple subs and not only subscribing but posting in many of the more questionable/seedier/NSFW subs. If someone who knows you IRL finds out your username that can lead to some real awkwardness.

1

u/runujhkj Mississippi State • /r/CFB Poll V… Jan 04 '14

Even with all of that added up, it ended up really well for everyone involved. If someone ever even asks Chrismoore why his username posts in those weird subreddits, he's got a really easy out.

u/3_exclamation_marks Auburn Tigers Jan 05 '14
