Why I hate Thanksgiving weekend games

I typically watch games alone or at home with just immediate family around. When we start playing bad I just go into another room and watch the game there so the kids don't have to hear me yell at the TV.
Fast forward to Thanksgiving weekend and I am watching the game at a relative's house with a large number of people. I am getting mad due to Bame giving up the most rush yards that I can remember and now I have to hear other people stating stupid things like "well we are going to win the game" or "they are up 20 points why are you mad". If you can't be upset at Pete Golding and the shitty defense we put out there against a team that can't throw the ball then you are not a real fan. Dominate your opponent and play to your talent level.
I can't wait to see 10 leave, I watch him during games and he just runs around and is in the area without really doing anything. I miss the days of Rolando and Foster and Evans where we had a LB that actually came to play instead of just looking like he plays. Ole Henry might be in the right position but if there was a stat of expected yards given up he certainly would be low on that chart. He does not attack the runner and just waits for players to get to him in the hole. I can't wait to see someone attack the hole and actually bring the pain to the runner instead of just being soft and making the tackle. Just my two cents.

You should just enjoy watching the Iron Bowl with your family, and try and not get so angry.
I like 10, I think that he's tough, and he plays hard, to the whistle, but I just don't think that he's got the skill/talent/strength to be that guy in the middle.

I agree. I thought 10 wasn't as bad as people are/were making him out to be. The only thing that drove me nuts about him was his stupid 15 yard penalties he got almost every other game. And they weren't just playing too hard penalties, they were after the play was over personal foul penalites. I guess that in and of itself is justifiable for people dogging him though. Seems like Dallas Turner is another that tends to get a lot of personal foul penalties but it seems like they are more effort penalties in accidentally grabbing the facemask more than anything.

You might want to look into anti depressant medications you can take during thanksgiving week.

Some of y’all are such miserable fricks
If watching your team beat their hated rival makes you this mad why are you even watching? Find something else to do.

I mean seriously
Sure, I was fussing some during the game. But when the clock hit zero and we beat Auburn by 3 TDs, it was all joy haha

Man, Dallas makes me nervous. I am VERY happy that he is on our defense, but he is extremely violent and is the definition of someone who plays with a mean streak.
He may struggle next year to avoid getting thrown out of the game for targeting, hitting QB in the wrong spot, or hitting someone right as they step out of bounds. Football has gotten pretty soft over the years. It's almost as if he should be playing back in the 70's....
Unrelated, his strength and speed are off the charts for someone of his size. I have seen him push around and quickly dispose of TEs outweighing him by 40-45 lbs.....

Man if you can’t enjoy winning by 3+ touchdowns against Auburn while surrounded by family maybe you need to reevaluate some priorities. Getting upset with Golding is justified but it’s the last game of the year, he can’t hurt us anymore and we won by 3 TDs
