[QUOTE="COJacket, post: 46620, member: 67"] First, I love that song. Spoke the truth with a good tune. Of course I loved most of what Don wrote and sung. Unfortunately Cheese more humans have a glass is half empty view point in life (negativity bias) than a glass half full view point (optimism bias). So it is not unexpected that this message board would reflect real life. It is just built into our brains that the bad stuff is stronger than the good stuff. Psychological research has shown this to be true and now with the neuroscience research really moving forward, it is being scientifically proven to be true. What is cool is that the neuroscience research is also showing that even a small shift in a persons ability to see the good stuff makes them much happier in life. And one of the ways to really see the good stuff is to focus on it, not just with a passing thought. You can actually rewire your brain by doing just that. So there is hope for all of us:) I live in Colorado, and one thing I keep reminding myself is that even though I would like our O line to play better, and we would pass a bit more so we can come from behind easier and have a more diverse game plan, or we had a real good DT to go along with Gotsis, we are still much better off than the University of Colorado. Since "sharing" the national title with us they have been unbelievably bad. And what is their excuse - they have one of the most beautiful campuses in the US, they have easy courses and majors, they have knock your socks off co-eds roaming around everywhere on the campus, they have plenty of money to throw at football, they have played in excellent conferences, ..... All the things that work against us they have. And yet our record since then blows them out of the water. So Cheese I don't put much on the Board since I am way out here and don't hear stuff, or I am not a X and O guy like you and Boomer and Eric. But I do appreciate your bias towards Tech football. It is not being unrealistic like some say on the Board. You do point out the good stuff. We all want more of the good stuff from the team, but ever once in awhile just recognizing that all is not doom and gloom and there are plenty of programs way worse off than us is not a bad thing. In fact, it helps rewire the brain in a good way. So thanks Boomer, Cheese and others that do such a great job of breaking down the team. Keep it up - the good stuff as well the constructive criticism. And Eric, thanks again for such a great board. [/QUOTE]
