    Default Your team gets beat, but the Downlow still needs you to participate!

    I have noticed that several will post all year long especially when their local teams are doing well , but when their season ends be it not qualifying for playoffs or getting beat in the playoffs they just stop participating as if football season is done. I just want to encourage them to keep participating , be a part of the discussion all the way till end of the State Title game. That is what makes this place fun and just because your team got beat does not mean you cannot have fun maybe cheering for another , or just picking winners and losers for the next week. I hate it when we get down to the best part of the season the only ones that are posting are from those teams that are still in the hunt. Just my 2 cents !

    I agree 100% ... In the past, I've allowed myself a customary 24-36 hour 'cooling off/mourning period' Of Course, I would congratulate the winner then take my quick period off lol

    Isn't it strange that after a bombing everyone blames the Crazy Azz bomber(s), but after a shooting the problem is the gun?

    I check in regularly, and usually post regularly. In the offseason, it dies off tremendously. That is when I believe just about any subject should be acceptable because sports is not the only thing to discuss. I am a proponent of combining all subjects, especially in the offseason.

    I just think its fun when we break down and discuss these big games even if my team is not participating. I especially love talking about other classifications and who will win and why. It just is more fun when there are more participating and when you just drop off the radar after your team gets beat then it just does not look good especially if you were on here almost weekly or daily before your team got beat. It is just a football game so have fun with it !!!

    The problem with socialism is, eventually you run out of other peoples' money.
