Effing hilarious.

I think I've been a bit of all of those at one time or another (except TokenChick of course). Good Stuff Trusty. BTW, JDL = Roc Hoover?

I see this guy a lot on here...

Mr. Bright Side: Can see a ray of sunshine in the nuclear winter that is his team's season. No matter how bleak and how hopeless things are for the local eleven (or nine, or five, or whatever), that happy stick is jammed securely up his ass, and it ain't comin' out for nothin'.

Figured I'd move this thread over to the College board, see if we can't get some discussion/fun making going on with it.

Champ, you also see this:

What you see is Emotionally Invested:
You know the cop movies where the lieutenant calls the detective into his office and reprimands him: "You're getting too close!" Well, he's gotten too close. He tosses out more excuses and rationalizations than a battered wife. He's fallen in love with a player, and his heart won't allow him to admit that, well... it simply isn't going to work out.

Those were the two that I was thinking I'd seen the most. Certain posters and certain teams and wrestlers come to mind when I read those descriptions.

I'll list the wrestlers/coaches/teams and you guys fill in the poster who's either Mr Brightside or Emotionally Invested:

Metcalf
Ness
Gillespie
Schlatter
Sponseller
Poeta
Minnesota (whole team)
Brands
Iowa
ISU
Reiter
Perry

I could list a bunch more on the other site, but those on this site are usually much more reasonable.

Who is the wrestler or team that I'm emotionally invested to?

The "Cool" Visiting Fan: He wears the colors of a hated rival, but it doesn't matter- everyone on the board loves him anyway. He's always civil and always makes sure to point out that he "comes in peace".

This is Trusty.

The Reactionary: He isn't always negative. When things are going just right, he's positively a pussycat. But if anything goes even slightly awry, duck- because the invective will be flying.

This is LoSt.
