Current Emotional State poll

[Gunnerclone]

What is your current emotional feeling about the football program?

Talk to me, come in to the trust tree.

Where's don't give a ****?

 

[Stewo]

I'm just bored. Was this way last season too. We already know what to expect every game.

That would be what those of us that live in the house call "apathy".

 

[kentkel]

I could have checked a few items. I chose pessimism - just because I thought it spoke to why I have also been apathetic AND bored.

 

[jburke]

I am more excited to tailgate anymore or bar hop pre-game depending on plans than sit through the game.... I will go in and support, but my support is less upbeat as it was a week ago.....

 

[LindenCy]

Tentative/Fear - I'm afraid that Rhoads won't be gone at the end of the year. If I knew for certain he would be gone - optimism.

 

[heitclone]

Boredom, I used to be a college football junkie, the last 2 years have kind of killed the excitement for Saturdays. My only wish for the rest of the season is for good tailgating weather on Halloween.


Oh and for the Huskers to continue to lose.

I move freely between apathy and boredom.

What's the polar opposite of "So proud?"

 

[Tailg8er]

Based on 90% of football posts on this board, this poll is extremely inaccurate so far...

Pessimism:
noun
A tendency to see the worst aspect of things or believe that the worst will happen; a lack of hope or confidence in the future.

[JWIL4CY]

a mix of pessimism and apathy

 

[Cyclonick182]

Apathy. It set in mid way through last year and returned after the Toledo game. I just don't give a **** anymore. Its hard to care when the team is comically bad. I'll echo LindenCy here a little too. I have 0 faith that CSR will be gone at the end of the year which gives way to a little fear too.

I just keep thinking back to the beginning of the season, when some were predicting a 5-0 start. Someone said if we only win 3 or even 2, it was going to be a long year. Well, here we are and, unfortunately, I'm not even the least bit surprised.

You just keep eating **** sandwiches but by god if you aren't excited for the next bite!

 

[NickTheGreat]

Last year I was at apathy. For some reason, this year I'm at about 40% disdain, 50% pessimism, and 10% optimism, just because.

 

[JohnnyFive]

Do I think we win another game? No.

Will I still show up to tailgate every game? Yes.

Am I a masochist? Undecided.

 

[Wesley]

Ready to take some beatings.
Disappointed that we have more talent and it is not being fully utilized.
Unsure about the 12 yard cushions whether a 3 or 4 man line.
Still do not understand B12 refs and replay booth thought process.
Impressed with contributions by new talent and use of many players.
Wish Sam looked like he had better more aggressive body language and his passing hand was bigger.
Not sure why the three rush linemen could not be spread out wider to open a little more rush alley than they showed against TT.

[JC32]

Point blank... one of the worst D1 football programs in the country.
(not worst teams this season but worst programs, stats don't lie)

It's time for a change, not that its going to help that much without a recruiting genius, X's and O's guy with a great QB.


You can say that I have jumped off the cliff and I'm ready for basketball
