Why can’t I just enjoy a win?

Was thinking to myself today that we just beat a top 10 non conference team, and all I had to say about it afterwards was how sloppy we played.

Any e-psychologists have any theories as to why I’m so pessimistic with my sports teams?

Nick Saban has really mind f***** all of us. My best guess.

I'm witcha.

Waited decades for a serviceable offense.

Get record breaking offense.

Complain about defense.

I get that way also. I always look for the negatives in the team's performance. Still, you beat a good team.

The most pissed off I have ever been after a UVA game was one they won. Virginia lead Richmond 17-0 at half and won because the Richmond kicker missed the extra point after they made it 17-16.

I do it every time and my team hasn't beaten a top 10 team since 2015 and hasn't been in the national title picture since 2001.

True. Georgia fans think they're on bama's level when they're really not

I’m here to say quit yer bitching.

 

[JuiceTheGator]

I think the OP just really doesn't like the Dawgies? The overly-critical attitude comes from an underlying distaste for such a shitty school and secret wish to be a Florida Gator...America's University and the pride of this fine nation.

Defense mechanism to avoid disappointment if they lose.

Always expect the worst. If it happens, you aren't surprised. If something better happens, you can be happy for a minute before slinking back into despair.

If you figure it out give me the Cliff's Notes.

Been dealing with it for 20 years.

Dude I coach middle school team and I do this to my kids. As a fan, we have no impact yet we have the same mindset when we feel connected to a team. Being satisfied and complacent makes you worse. In high school our coaching staff was the type where we won 56-0, yet when we watched film at least one player per play would get chewed out.

Accepting where you are and not trying to get better is preparing for failure and mediocrity. Every day you don’t get better, you get worse. Even as a fan, where we have no true impact on this, it should remain everyone’s mindset.

That's me after every single Notre Dame game... ever.

I disagree they had Bama beat twice and Kirby shit the bed. Georgia fans honestly have a very good reason to feel horrible and hate life.

 

[HuskerinBig10]

Nebraska won, now Nebraska gets to play Ohio State. With georgia's old QB that looks really, really good.

Quit your whining.

Just become a Kansas fan instead.

It's easy, you are a Atlanta and Dawgs fan. Other than Cubs fans, not sure there is a more jinxed fanbase.

History has a way of doing that.

 

[Pariah]

Michigan fans have this problem in a more literal sense.

Try yoga or maybe a nice spin class
