I know this was in the heat of the moment and all that, but sometimes you just have to step back for a few seconds before you hit the submit button. I do it all the time, type something out while I am mad, especially in an email at work. Wait a few seconds, read what I wrote and if I still feel like I need to send it...I do. But more times than not I end up deleting the email and waiting until I calm down. Works out much better that way.

Eh, I personally disagree with that. In some cases there is no better adjective than a something which expresses frustration and emotion in one word.

You have just spent the last 8 hours building a card tower and you are placing the last card on top and boom it all falls down.
There are a few words that might pop out of your mouth and any one of them would basically sum up your feelings on the situation.

I think my point was more based on typing something out where you have time to think and can select the words you wish to use.

I agree with this fully. I have always been one to say "curse with your mouth not your fingers" so we all don't have to see it.

One thing is to talk profanity but too get that personal... Whoever he is, he is a low-life...

Sad, sad, sad...

Yep, talking about miserable.

Quote:Haha! Good one...
This reminds me of something from yesterday's game. I'm there with my family [Wife & 3 daughters]. Naturally, 3 feet behind my left earhole is a loud obnoxious 20-something Memphis fan. There's just two of them - he and one friend who I never heard more than a peep out of. One would think heavy EP exposure would have thickened my skin a bit for the obnoxious arrogant visitor [tongue firmly in cheek there]. He got started quickly - during player introductions he was yelling, MILLS YOU SUCK!!!

In the end, I was thankful my family was there - had they not been it might have gotten ugly. As it was, I only lost it once. When DJ Stephens took the hard fall it got kinda quiet, so I half turned toward the rear and hollered, GET UP YOU PANSY!!!

I like this one.....especially with the "gotten ugly" part....I think he's threatening to drink all the beer in the city?

Cheering an injury is pathetic.

Joking about kicking a kid in the nuts is not.

Eaglepost

That Eaglepost board is to be ignored and laughed at. It is made up of USM fans that think it is cool to be anti-USM. The language used there is for shock value, but in reality it is just pathetic. Our pay Scout board is my favorite board, with the pay Rivals board second.

If that lowlife ever said that in my presence, I would be coming across the table at him/her/it. I would be in its face, for sure.

We used to (like 5 or 6 years ago) have someone who would shriek like a banshee every time an opposing player would take a foul shot.

Tarik misses free throws with noise or no noise

I think it was a couple of years ago whoever the midget UCF had playing point totally faked getting fouled on a 3 point shot. The refs gave it to him and he hit all three free throws. I wanted someone to elbow him in the mouth for that cheap $hit. That's the only post like that I've made.

Of the three major schools in Mississippi there is no doubt that the USM fans have much more class than the rest.

I guess that's the Black and Gold pride... what and idiot. Learn some legit defense this isn't a street fight, it's a game.

My kid would sometimes unleash a blood curdling scream that caused distress to both the free throw shooter and Tiger fans. I made her stop except for critical free throws.

As far as actually helping our team our fans are really poor at it.

I am 100% in favor of a 10 second shotclock count down by the fans but no one else seems interested at all.

Notice all the other arenas where fans count down the 10 second clock.
I have even seen some arenas where the fans will MISCOUNT the 10 second clock when the other team has the ball to try and screw them up.

I would love to be a part of getting a 10 second countdown started in the Fed Ex Forum.

That is SOOO creative!
And it was really popular in the 80s~!
