RE: Dog Fan
Thanks for the inquiry. Although I come back to check on the board every now and then, I am backing off of NIU Football for awhile. It will help my general health and sanity.
Because of all the haughty prognostications, I was reallly pumped about what we would see. After the ISU and ND gmes, my bubble was burst and the depression and sickness of seeing the same crap over and over again came back. Like the rest of us, I am heavily invested in NIU, and I take losses very, very hard. I am just tired of the losing and mediocrity. That is why I made the decision to stay away from the bowl games for awhile. It costs money to attend, and I am tired of getting pissed off and embarrassed.
I realize, too, that football is not good for my health. I get very nervous before each game because the games mean and count so much more in FB than in BB, due to the fewer number of FB games. As we have clearly seen in the past, one conference loss can do you in in the MAC. The stress and pressure are too much for me (and my heart) to handle. So, I need to distance myself a little bit.
In addition to this, I do not quite see eye-to-eye with Athletics Administration. I do not like the stagnancy behind the veiled excuse that we have no money. There is so much more that I know can be done. I see them as needing to be more fan-conscious (like Toledo). I have iterated and reiterated my complaints and suggestions here ad nauseum. I realize that it's getting old, and I do not want to get sucked into that complaint vortex again.
I will be back full force next month with basketball. With BB, I know what we've got and I know the expectations: not much. Thus, if we play decently and get a few wins, my expectations will be exceeded. At least I won't get caught up in the pre-season hype and then get dropped to the ground. I am renewing my BB season tix and will be at as many games as possible.
Oh, and by the way, I just had another sex change operation. I had dickectomy and addaboobtome surgery, and am now a vivacious (?) woman again. These changes are taking a toll on my hormones, and it's tough looking at my sexy new body while shaving every morning. Plus, I am not used to seeing a woman in the mirror and get aroused at my own image. (Some of you guys know how this is.) On top of all this, I am re-learning how to go to the bathroom and which bathroom to use. If you see me at Huskie Stadium and I mistakenly straddle the urinal trough, just have pity on me, send me to the women's bathroom, and give me a little peck on the cheek. :tasha:
