I’m no psychologist. Perhaps I need someone who is in the field to explain it to me.
But for the life of me I can’t figure out how seemingly otherwise good and decent people, people who wouldn’t cheat on their taxes or their spouses, people who lead quiet lives within the boundaries of law and decency, could find themselves not only condoning blatantly ill-gotten gains, but actually rooting for it to happen.
Is there something about sports that allows people to put their morality aside and cheer for teams and players they KNOW are cheating? I mean, its not like there’s a single person with even a passing interest in sports that isn’t aware of what this “institution” has done.
I’m no saint and I don’t consider myself to be morally superior. But I’ve tried looking at it from the perspective of what I would be thinking and feeling if our school had done what UNC-CHeat has done for the sake of maintaining a high profile, winning sports team. And for the life of me I can’t help but thinking I would be ashamed and embarrassed. I’d hardly be crowing about it on social media. If we won fair and square then sure – I’d be rightfully proud.
But these folks KNOW damn well that they’re rooting for blatant cheaters and they seem proud of it. For the life of me, I’ll never understand it.Well of course that dirty SOB started the entire thing. But at this point I’d be happy with the NCAA simply holding their feet to the fire for 93-forward……..
Yet here we all sit into the SIXTH YEAR of this thing and still no resolution in sight.
He’s not wrong. But when you’re NC State and not one of the blues you just gotta suck it up buttercup.
Too nervous to drink?
Picked to finish 10th in the ACC. House money and all that. It’s all good. I’m into the sour mash already. 🙂I can’t decide which is worse – these butt-ugly helmets or the butt-ugly play I saw on the field last year. Of course I guess if we’re going to play like clowns we might as well look the part.
I was flipping through he channels last season and came across a Houston home game. There honestly seemed to be about three dozen people in attendance.
I’m fairly certain that if I had turned in the paper above during my time at NC State I would have gotten NO grade. I strongly suspect it would have been returned to me with a “COME SEE ME” note across the top.
As much as I love to make fun of the holes that is downright embarrassing.
Hmmmmm. Class of 84 here – duh. So I was there in 83 which of course did not suck.
But if I had to pick my one single worst sports memory it’s actually pretty easy.
October 1981 – maybe the State Fair was going on that week. I can’t remember to be honest. But I DO remember that parking was unusually worse than normal that day. We literally parked in the median of what is now (and might have been then) Wade Ave.
Sitting on the grassy hill at C-F. Me and two of my buddies (and one of them’s out of state girlfriend) and I had snuck in a bunch of Wild Turkey. Up 10-0 at halftime on those assholes from Chapel Hell. We’re partying like it’s 1999.
You all know what happened on the field next. I’ll spare you that part.
But the worst of it was having to LITERALLY carry our drunk buddy’s girlfriend back to the car after the game was over. All three of us were drunk. But she was passed out. So we literally took turns carrying her over our shoulder from the grass hill back to Wade.
Needless to say neither I nor the other girlfriend-less buddy had to buy any more beer the rest of the semester.
