Great idea, there is one thing I do want to vent about here, and since there is no line here I'll unload.

Listen, I get calling out coaches. It's basically written in their contracts that they will be criticized, often times warranted often times not. It doesn't matter, they're getting paid to do this and getting paid handsomely.

But the one thing that absolutely makes me lose my shite is ragging and calling out players by fans. These young men go through exhausting workouts and practices on a daily basis and sacrifice a large portion of their college experience that we take for granted, and then they get called out by some fat, middle-aged armchair QB about shite that happens in the heat of the moment against elite competition. Just a heads up, football isn't fricking easy. Some will respond with "hurr durr they get a free education and get to slay cleat chasers". Most people don't understand but college athletics, especially football, is an extremely glorified version of the gladiator/slavery phenomenom. By that I mean they tell these kids when to wake up, when to eat, what classes they can take, when they have free time, etc.. I got through college full paid on an academic scholarship, all I had to do was keep a 3.25. These athletes have to keep their GPAs on top of performing in their respective sports with all of the daily time requirements for their sports. Regarding cleat chasers, was it that hard for you to get laid in college? Was it? Hell the amount of time they have to bang is limited compared to the average college kid. I had the opportunity to do college athletics and I said frick that with a giant bag of dicks, I wanted to actually enjoy the college experience and focus completely on the things I loved the most. By that I mean something I actually got paid to fricking do.

So before you want to call out a player, have some introspection first. No, introspection does not entail looking down and wiping the wing and dip stains off your wife beater you fricks. This doesn't mean we can't have fun like Alshon is a porker and Nick Marshall can't annunciate. But as a fan to rip a player for playing their hearts out and giving everything they have to a program, well my only response is GFY with a bag of aids, dicks, and fire you cock goblins.

This is a great vent and you make some good points.


This is our fight club. The first rule of our fight club is we don't talk about it. If you do then I'll come in here and vent about it.

So just for clarification we can make fun of opponent players? I hope. :)

I completely agree with you in regards to our hoggies.
