I love the over reactions

[Dread-headed Texan]

You guys never fail. 🤣 oh no we suck again

[Itsamystery]

@Gerry Hamilton warned us that everything about Arch would be over analyzed. We have not disappointed! God Lord, it was one game. 

[Bobby Burton]

Losing sucks. To the core. So people spend time trying to figure out how not to lose next time.

That and myriad other reasons are my professional opinion.

🤣 Exactly! I'm going to order some Terry Blacks and wait for the SC game. As a player and even more specifically, as a DB, I was taught to have a short memory. OSU is over and I'm already moving on to the next game.

STRAIGHT FACTS! Texas will be just fine 🙂.

That’s why I don’t look at twitter or this message board during Texas games it’s pathetic 

[Oldest Horn]

It’s funny when teams open with like minded teams. My guess is Bama isn’t as bad as they looked, and neither are we or Clemson.

Welcome to the internet, and to college sports. What did you expect?

I have to admit this board behaved better than the one many of our mods came from, where they soil themselves over our first three and out. Let’s hope this holds.

I got exactly what I expected🤣. A win and there's no reason to play the rest of the season, give us the natty already. A loss, and it's fire errbody, Sark sucks, Arch is a bust, and Texas should disband the football team.

That is much more of an exaggerated, overreaction than anything said here. 

What's your specific complaint? Arch sucked? Yeah, he did. We still suck in the red zone? Yeah, we do. It only cost us the game against the defending national champions.

I don't have a complaint. I have an observation, this was week one against the best team probably we'll face all year. I don't control how fans think, nor will I try to, opinions are far and wide. I enjoy them them and some are absolutely comical.

Standard post loss topics.

A bunch of “Oh Noes. We suck!”

Usually a suggestion or three that “We fire or reassign a coach.”  

Someone will bop in with a “…but how will this affect recruiting ?” thread.

And, of course, you get sanctimonious threads like this one where someone claims moral high ground for “not overreacting.”
 

It is what it is, and you can copy and paste most of the posts minus a few game specifics on any sports message board in America.

So, complaining about or mocking overreactions is sanctimonious. Gotcha.

Fair enough but I'm not claiming a moral high ground. I just watched the game differently. How fans feel is how they feel. Some of the reactions from my POV are comical.

And about your standard reply as well. 
 

Yes, it’s sanctimonious. A claiming of some fictional internet high ground because fanatics react emotionally to the thing they love.

It is what it is anywhere sports matter to people who can post about it. Good take. Hookem.

It's not sanctimonious or self-aggrandizing to say that claiming we suck or Sark needs to stop calling plays is an overreaction. That was a close game against a really good team on the road. If you were a Bama fan, you'd have reason to be really concerned. They were terrible in all facets of the game against a mediocre team.

What high ground did you sense, ace? Some folks get a laugh out of people losing their minds over game one of a long season.
 

And somehow you had to react to that, didn’t you?
 

Were you being sanctimonious in your own right?

Sure looks that way…

DeBoer was dumb enough to follow the undisputed GOAT, and, minus a great season, will probably be on the hot seat at the end of the year. Alabama fans have forgotten what it is to have a mortal football program like the rest of us. 
 

We sucked yesterday. It’s ok to say that. It’s not a crazy take. We score 7 points, and lost a game where Ohio State barely bothered to try to play offense. People suggesting that Sark might need to surrender the reins as a play caller are also not over the top. Particularly given that the guy who just beat him twice consecutively did just that. It’s been an ongoing topic of conversation for some time now. No, I haven’t joined that chorus yet. 
 

Overreacting would be calling for the firing of the entire staff or quitting on the season. 
 

People are people, all of these reactions are expected, and could be largely preprinted for them if anyone bothers to pay attention to message board behavior. We looked like microwaved dog turds on national tv ranked number one against a huge opponent after a preseason of hearing how good we are going to be. The reactions are expected. Don’t talk down to people for them just because they don’t fan like you do.

“Don’t talk down to people…” on a message board.

Getting sanctimonious over perceived sanctimony. 
 

Brilliant!

The fact that you can’t sense the complete irony of that post is peak you.
