LSU, Rockets and Lastros - usually around 7/8, but inevitably I know they'll choke and it brings me down to a 4/5

For Bama, right about at 8. Basketball maybe a 9.

Raiders would be right at a 7.

Since the A's got rid of Donaldson Cespedes, I haven't really followed them. Don't even know if Coco Crisp is still there.

6 when averaged. Weighted average goes to about an 8.5

Alabama football won the national championship- 10
Alabama basketball did better than expected but still crumbled at the end- 6
Alabama baseball may finally get Mitch Gaspard fired- 5
Liverpool is going to miss the top 4, but we hired Klopp and things will turn around- 7
The USMNT is an abortion- 2

OM across the board.

And my fantasy team haha.

This past few years recruiting have been at all time highs. But I now have an 8 month old and he has turned my attention this offseason away from sports.

But once the fall comes around I know I'll be back. Football fandom is a 6 right now. Will hit 8-9 levels come September.

I think it is important to define the scale. If it is out of 1-10 and 10 is a guy like Harvey, then I have always been shades of 1s or 2s. I refuse to define my personal self worth by my teams.

If 1-10 is a personal scale then my 10 was sometime in the Summer of 2010. I was still feeling the buzz of the Saints Superbowl and Texas A&M looked to be headed for the SEC.

Since then my Saints fandom has faded some thanks to Bountygate BS and the reality that Goodell's NFL is a lot closer to professional wrestling than I would like. My Aggie fandom peaked in 2012, but since then the candle has burned down some even though I am more excited about this year than last year.

I would say somewhere around a 8 is warranted. If the Saints would have lost Payton I would be at around a 4.

I don't think it comes in any other color scheme. I do like the first one as well. They did a good job with the fake retro look with that set. I'm not even a Rays fan and I would have no problem wearing that.

Was it an Aggy that pointed out the a-hole. I had never even thought of that.

I'd still wear it and anyone that said it looked like an a-hole would just have to be called an expert in anal sphincters.

Stop lying.

It's very foolish to use absolutes. You are educated and should no better.

ETA: No, that "no" wasn't on purpose. My brain did that. Now, the only question is if I actually no the difference between no and know.

frick know that wasn't on purpose. I'm on a conference call, typing and reviewing a document all at the same time.

I think I better focus.

I do often wonder about that part of the brain that just fires off and says no is fine for know and other examples.

I'm leaving it for the
