Stuff from the world of sports that Irritates the Crap Outta Me

Should be four seasons because you left out lingerie football.

Does anyone even go to lingerie football? I've never been and I don't know anyone that's gone to one single game.

Your bishop is exposed...... :)

I hate it when that happens.

Sure ya do. :rolleyes-new:

Meaning I don't in fact know enough about this? Or did you just prove my point...

I didn't prove you point because I do care about it, just like to see them lose.

So you're not really a fan of any team that plays them, just anti-Nebraska? That's pretty much the type of "fan" I was talking about.

I am a fan of several teams that played them every year while they were in the Big 12. I am a fan of Michigan and Iowa. So maybe you're really describing somebody else.

Ha!

But nope, lingerie in Oklahoma is a pair of boxers and a jog bra.

No special season for that. ;-)

OK ...... we've got chess players on board.......... you guys can use the phrase !!

1. Ra6 !

If 1..... bxa6 , then b7 Mt ( if Black's pawn captures the Rook at a6 , then White advances his pawn one square for checkmate )

If 1.....If instead , Black chooses to just move his Bishop along the b8h2 diagonal ( dark squares ) , then White captures the pawn at a7 , Mate ......... Rxa7

Announcers that say "WE" as in "We need to play better defense." Unless you are a coach or on the the team, it is not about you. It is even more grating when it's some second rate high school broadcast.

What about when fans use WE? I very regularly refer to the Shockers teams in WE form.

Me too, as in, "Let's go SHOCKERS! We need a stop/basket."

Ironically I was going to post the same thing. KU t-shirt fans are at the top of the list with “we, we, we, we, we… “.

Apples and Oranges in my mind. Most announcers are professionals....errr....on the job. Those of us in the stands are fans. "We" in that context doesn't bother me.

Fair enough. I didn't come here to get in arguments with you or anybody else; just for a little enjoyment and to commiserate with other Shocker fans. Hating the Huskers is certainly your right; there are several teams I don't care for, and I'm happy when they lose. But I keep it to myself. What I don't do is talk trash to fans of those teams when they lose, even if I'm a fan of the team that beat them, and I think that doing so is really bush league. The original question asked for things that irritate us, and I posted one. Your comment about a team I root for (which was unnecessary and uncalled for in this context IMO) led me to believe that you do, ergo my comment. If you don't, then fine.
