Savor the wins as long as you can.
Forget the losses as quick as you can.
Laugh at the silly doomers/gloomers. Have some fun slyly getting into their heads on occasion.

RE: sometimes I hate being a tiger fan
Getting away from this board and the media for a few days makes it all go POOF.
Also, it helps me a lot to think of things like Shaq's smile, Antonio's "I got this" free-throw wink, DJ's flying hops and his smile, Tarik's sincerity, Joe's determination, Geron's attitude, plus all the great football Tigers I have met, like Mr. Poe, Cannon Smith, Robert Steeples, Cam Baker, and Kenyata Johnson. Not to mention all my Tiger friends! That is what being a Tiger means to me. Don't dwell on all the other drama. We have had that for decades.

Your former school has a winning FB team and is soon going to open a sparkling new BB arena. I'm sure they have room left on the bandwagon when you get tired of slumming with us.

considering who wrote it...probably not. Like I haven't had plenty of chances in the past, oh, 40 years, to do just that.

RE: sometimes I hate being a tiger fan
i never hate being a Tiger fan, never. for me its like being married. the vows you take....its rather easy for me. its all about being loyal. if you can grind through the tic price and johnny jones era, everything becomes simple. as for our present team, we have alot to cheer for and be glad about. i love being a Tiger fan all the time!

I just wonder if other programs have this same problem. It does get annoying here with all the SEC drool. I wanted to listened to some sports radio yesterday at work and had to turn it off before I puke. It was unbelievable.

No- I never hate being a Tiger fan.
But yes, I do recognize that on message boards and unfortunately at the arenas we have some real incredibly nonsensical often oddly hateful a$$wads.
