This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Such a weird feeling today vs 2012. by sluredandstumbly

I drank ALL the kool-aid in 2012. We had been so bad for so long, and I desperately wanted to believe that we were back. I spent an obscene amount of money to get a ticket, flew on red-eye flights, hastily arranged to meet my roommate from Freshman year, partied like a champion all day pregame on 2 hours sleep, and ended up leaving at the end of the 3rd quarter. I was crushed.

Today I feel nothing. I fully expect us to get blown out. I’ll end up watching the game with one eye, while aimlessly surfing the web.

What a difference 8 years makes. Or 32, for that matter.
