Checked out NAFOOM late last night to check out their reaction to last night's game. Someone started their game thread in the bottom of the 9th. There are 8 posts as of this morning. Our thread started before the game and is now 19 pages, 364 posts and still growing. Sure we complained for 8 2/3 innings about our poor approach to attempting to hit a pitcher we made look like Greg Maddox, but we were passionately involved in the game, good or bad, win or lose. OM doesn't have as many sidewalk fans in sports as bama but they are there in great numbers. Unless they are winning in baseball, there is little reason to throw perfectly good beer into the air after a HR so they can sit or stand sticky for the rest of the game which was a losing season this year. Same applies to football. Hang out in the Grove if they are losing. State fans are loyal, win or lose and interested in the outcome during the game, even as we tear each others heads off until that magic moment with two outs in the bottom of the 9th or last minute win at DWS or the Hump, (sometimes few & far in between). Disclaimer: No way I write this if we had lost 1-0 as we couldn't hit our way out of a wet paper bag for 8 2/3 innings and nearly wasted a Bob Gibson type outing by Auger.*** Hail State and beat aTm tonight!
