Top Ten Excuses for leaving a record setting game early

[WuShock Reaper]

I think we give demerits for leaving early and award points for age so we can effectively measure fandom. Since I'm in my 60's and stay until the end I am effectively more of a fan than someone in their 30's who stays. Someone in their 50's who leaves 5 minutes early is less of a fan than a 40 year old leaving 2 minutes early etc.. No bonus points for spending the night. Completely on the honor system. Maybe we can do badges?

BADGES?

What I'm getting out of this is that you need to be a better fan.

Damn...going back to fan school!!!

You know what boys and girls...who gives a shat either way. Good God, some of us need to get off our high horse and just realize there are two types of people in this world; those who like Neil Diamond...and those that don't.

Opps...there are also those people that leave Shocker games early...and those who don't. I personally would, under no circumstances, leave a game early. I once brought a friend of mine to a game, because my wife couldn't go. It was a blow out victory and at the final media timeout my friend said "game, set and match...let's go." I stood up reached in my pocket for my keys, placed them in his hand and said "I will see you at the car." My friend needless to say stayed by my side until the end of a 30-point spanking.

I don't judge one way or another. The people that leave early pay through the same system as I do to get in the building. If they leave early, so what. I'm sure some of them might of yelled louder than I did at some point. BFD...get off your pedestal people and complain about something that matters.

You know how some people have 'ignore' functions for some peoples' posts? I would like an ap that TELLS me you have posted something...great work!

I think the main reason to leave early is to piss off some of you people on SN, at least that's why I left when the clock hit 0:)).

My prepaid whores went on the clock at 9:45.

In 1979 my wife went into labor with our first child at a Shocker game. She stayed until the end. I'm giving her a lifetime achievement award.

Alright, but that begs the question: Is your 37 year old child a Shocker fan?

Born and raised a Shocker. Played as a Shocker. Graduated a Shocker. Now lives in Tulsa but proudly wears Shocker gear down there and asked for more at Christmas. She would want me to point out that she won't be 37 until November.

Outstanding. What sport did she play?

Softball. Unfortunately during Judy Favor's reign of terror. Makes me sensitive to coaching methods.

I can understand why. I'll bet you have some interesting insights.

I was thinking about the whiners on SN when Bush checked and we checked out. I will be the kind of fan I want to be. There was no mention of any sort of recognition last night and there was biology homework waiting for my student Shocker fan. Frankly, if any of you think I give a rat's ass how you feel about us leaving early, you're wrong.

I knew we'd get some of the rascals out in this thread.

Doesn't care how we feel, so he posts a snippy retort.

Classic message board irony.

Thanks for the chuckle.

Hope that extra 20 minutes of study time paid off for your kid.
