Safe space for hog fans to talk about their emotions

When I was in my teens and a little into my twenties, I’d get legitimately upset and angry about games like tonight. Then, after suffering through those situations time and again, I just became numb to them.
Up until tonight, I used to think being numb was better than getting angry. I guess this was the biggest test my “numb” self has had.
I wish I was upset to the point I’d throw something and yell at the TV, get it out of my system, then return to “normal.” Instead, I feel like I’m now just carrying this weight in my stomach, and I know that will always be there if Arkansas doesn’t prevail tomorrow, even if it does get “lighter” over time.
I’m not a big Arkansas baseball fan, but growing up in Arkansas and going to college there you can’t help but want to see Arkansas achieve something great like winning its first national championship in baseball. There has been a lot of heartbreak since Arkansas achieved something as great 24 years ago.

Well they wont win tomorrow. But the same thing happened to OSU last year. It happens
The good news is we have an elite coach who is capable of taking us to Omaha every year.

I just don't get how we have fricked ourselves so many times, just in my lifetime. We should at least kiss ourselves first.
It sucks... I went from total elation to believing it was going to happen to saying, "WHelp, there it is... the suckage of being a hog fan"

As soon as he hit it I jumped up because I knew it was over. As soon as the ball hit the ground, I left the room because I knew we had lost. Such is life as an Arkansas fan.
Hopefully they can break the curse tomorrow. I’m not giving up hope yet.

I watched the entire god damn world series. I'm not watching it again next year. Baseball can kiss my arse.

Arky is in better shape pitching. They can get this done. If Campbell is on, they could run away with Game 3.

Nope Oregon state is confident bats woke up, they’ll hang 10 on arky...

Look at the bright side, you’re not Ole Miss. They haven’t even won an SEC regular season championship in ANY major sport since the early 70s.
