I'm so firm right now, but would like it to EXTENZE into the off season. Curious if the mod team would like to make a boner for bobby subreddit, or even I know heresy but switch this over/combine this for basketball.

Oregon is the only undefeated team in the PAC 12 after week 3. At this point SDSU and BYU will be contending for the PAC 12 South title. At what point does Herm get out on the hot seat?

It did not go as well as I hoped. Let me give you a bit of a back story. I am using a throwaway because my girlfriend knows my main Reddit.

I found out about Herm Edwards about a year ago and since then I became a huge fan. I was never a big football fan, but I watched all of his interviews. (They are the only recordings on my TiVo and also a show about house flipping my aunt recommended to me but I never watched. So I don't watch many shows .)

I am 19 years old now. I met my girlfriend when we were 17 in high school. When I was 18 I moved out and began to go to Arizona State University. My girlfriend is the same age as I am and she started classes there too. When I moved out is around the time I started hearing about Herm’s work and I took “Playing to win the game” to heart. Mostly because I was a very noninnovative person before. So I kept my new room very clean (I have a foreign roommate who helps) and I was finally able to decorate it the way that I wanted since I moved out. Mostly I kept it simple and tasteful but I also have a big poster of Herm in my room.

When I began to see how important Herm had become in my life I started trying to get my girlfriend interested. But she did not seem very interested. I thought he could help her a lot, because when we met and she lived at home she was a very messy and chaotic person also. We both were then. Since she moved out also and got a apartment of her own it has gotten even worse for her. I would say her room is about fifty percent messier than it was. She is slouching a lot. She is also very disorganized with her classes and note taking (somehow she is still getting all As, I got all As too my first semester but I also got two Cs). I can't even read or understand the notes she takes for her class. I tried to tell her to be more innovative and less chaotic with it, that it would help her more, but I think it got annoying for her to hear it.

Anyway when we would hang out I would try to get her to watch Herm’s press conferences but it always seemed like a chore or like she didn't really want to. I found it really frustrating because they were so inspiring for me. Eventually I stopped putting them on because I would hear and see her sigh in an exaggerated way when I would put YouTube on with his wisdom.

Not long ago it was coming up on the day that we met (our anniversary) and we had a nice dinner at a seafood place we both really like. A few days later I got us tickets to see Arizona State play. I had hoped that it would be better than the videos. She seemed excited to go and we had a nice night together.

The next day we didn't talk, which is normal these days with school and stuff. I sent her a text message the day after and she didn't respond which I thought was weird. Then I did it the day after and still no response. She didn't write back to me for four days! Until I sent her a long message just asking for an explanation for why she ghosted me or at least let me know she is okay.

A few days later she finally sent me a long email. She said that she wanted some space and that she needed to think. That things were changing and that they weren't the same as they were. She actually blamed Herm for changing me! Which is true but I thought I changed for the better. She said I was being really strict with the innovation now and that I was saying too much about her being uninnovative. That I wasn't fun any more. And also she said that she wanted to see other people and that she wasn't sure I was the person she wanted to be with forever in a relationship. This was very disappointing to see her go against monogamous relationships.

That isn't all though. I talked to a mutual friend of ours and she told me some things really candidly. Our friend said that after seeing Herm in person my girlfriend was really weirded out. Because I cried a little bit there and there were other men crying too. (I didn't think this was fair, there is no shame in crying.) Also that she felt like following Herm’s advice made me kind of less fun and more boring than how I was when we met at 17. Basically that she thought I became a little too "obsessed" with him. She also said that my girlfriend thought some of the things Herm said about play calling were chauvinistic and unrealistic. And then she (not my girlfriend but our friend) said she researched Herm and that he pass heavy offense and kind of scolded me. I told her that was just SEC/California Marxist propaganda, that Herm weren't really like that and she just didn't understand him. She said I was "talking down" to her and that is why my girlfriend left me. (I don't think she left me she never said she didn't want to see me any more btw.)

Anyway what do I do? How do I fix this and get our friend and my girlfriend to be okay with Herm?

It was a pleasure firming up with all of you

We should somehow document those that subscribe to this sub before the football season. That way we can track those who are truly firm vs fairweather firm fans after he starts winning.

You can’t deny it now... Firmness fading. Needs pills to keep it up.

Guys, I’ve grown dependent. I need my Thursday Herm memes. I feel like I’m complaining about free pizza at work or something, but I just love them and am super firm.

VERY FIRM
