[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 9333, member: 231"] Todd, you are just coming down hard on the cautious "fool me once, fool me twice" side of a fan's pregame psychology. I suspect you will watch the game with real jitters until a victory is beyond doubt. Others come down hard on the optimistic, confident "we got this" world-beaters side of fan psychology. They are more likely to be relaxed as the game progresses and probably partying it up. However, they are much more likely to end up crying in their hat like a Clemson fan if the team actually loses. The in-fighting comes when a proponent of one psychological state expects or demands it of other fans, and you honestly picked that fight yourself by saying you get bothered by it. For my part I tend to watch any game with jitters until it is beyond doubt so am more like you, but it doesn't bother me if other fans take the "we got this" route. I see Tech beating Duke in a big way, or in a close game, but only possibly losing in a [I]very [/I]close game. So I go with Tech 35 Duke 21. [/QUOTE]
