Bubba Gump Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) After 20 years of misery, when it's game day my emotions take over. When they play good I get so pumped, like when there is a big play or TD. I get so excited I scare the ***** out of my dog. But then in a blink of an eye, like after the Miami KO return and then following onside kick recovery, I started getting pissed and the "what the *****" started flying and I was saying we are gonna blow this game. The up and down swings can be huge some days. All the dudes that sit around me at home games are the same way. It's quite entertaining. Am I the only one that should be medicated on game days?

Oh Hell no, not the only one by a long chalk. The Shoutbox and the Gameday Threads here are full of bipolar behavior, and afterwards for Piping Hot Takes one way or the other, depending upon outcome. We win: SUPERBOWL! Allen Da Man! We lose: We''re gonna go 6-10, We Suck, Fire Daboll, Allen Sucks! People drink on game day (alert the media) and the over-the-top tirades in which I suspect alcohol plays a role can be Epic 1 2
oldmanfan Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 I scream a lot, but I don’t think it means I’m bipolar. I do tell friends and patients they wouldn’t recognize me on Sunday afternoons.
MAJBobby Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Not anymore. Used to live and die with this team. However since the 90s my fandom has changed. Now I am happy when they win. But over the years the have Beat that emotional rollercoaster out of me 4

I don't drink or consume any other kind of consumables on game day, so I'm actually able to recognize what's happening during the game. 1 2
H2o Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 I don't know about Bi-Polar, but there are NUMEROUS Bills-polar around here. 1

I don't drink when they are away, and only have a couple a few times at home games. I'm sure I would be miserable watching them being ***** faced.

I'm sure I would be miserable watching them being ***** faced. I think about 90% of the sheer stupidity in the GDT can be attributed to alcohol. 1 1

That's what I should have titled this thread. That's a perfect name for it. I also should have titled it, so you act bi-polar, not are you bi-polar. 1
Bubba Gump Posted November 18, 2019 Author Posted November 18, 2019 Is there a way to tweak the title?
Kenosha2Buffalo Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Yeah pretty much but the constant suffering made me a lot happier when they win and kinda expect it when they lose.
Dopey Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 The fact that I can watch the games at an establishment and not have people looking at me, wondering WTH is wrong with me would lead me to say I'm not. I must be aging like a fine wine.
Virgil Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Yes, but it’s better. When I have my daughter, I control it much more. I don’t want her to see me upset. Overall, as much as nothing surprises me, it creeps in
GunnerBill Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 More so than at any other time of the week.
