Yeah, I do that, too. Problem is that sometimes I break stuff. Like remotes. I've also put a dent or two in the wall. I always patch it up, but I feel like a complete idot afterwards.
If there was something tangible, yet cheap, that could be broken with no consequences, that might do the trick.
Novocaine wouldn't solve anything. I'd still yell, but I'd be incoherent and slobbering while yelling.

I'm a lot better than I used to be, but I'm not sure any of you want to take the measures I had to:
1) quit drinking
2) not care as much about the game's outcome (this most-definitely makes the pain of lossed less, but also dulls the thrills of victory)
Not until I did both did my in-game antics get better.
I told you that it wouldn't be popular. But I guess it's a case of the ends justifying the means, unfortunately.
It is really a matter of desensitization. Watch a bunch of our old games from the 2-10 season and your synapses will burn out from the overwhleming amount of suck. Then in your newly numbed state watch the current game. You'll look like you hade a lobotomy but you won't get too freaked out. I also recomend a Red Lobster bib to catch the drool.
You could also be in chat here during the game whilst watching and post your obscenity-laced tirades instead of shouting. While typing "****ing goddamn cocksucking sonofamother****ing ****tweezing ****whore" doesn't have quite the same satisfaction as saying it, at least it's better than not watching it live.
Not a bad idea.... hmmmmmmm.
OK, here's my situation. I get really keyed up watching the Buffs on TV. To the point where I'm not allowed to watch the games at home anymore. We have a 5-year old daughter, who doesn't need to hear my profane rantings. Problem is, we just got HD put in and I really want to see this game on the beautifulness of a LCD HD set.
Any recommendations as to how to keep your temper and emotions under control while watching the Buffs on TV would be greatly appreciated.
Exactly what I did for the FSU game....I was able to "watch" the entire game in less than an hour...After thinking it over, I believe I've come to a resolution. I'll TIVO the game, and start watching it at around noon. I'll fast forward through all the parts where CU's playing defense. If I happen to catch something that looks like a great defensive play, I'll rewind and watch it. On offense, if they piss me off, I can always just fast forward to the next play.
Hey man, why do you have to be yelling at the tv??? Maybe you should go bowling during the game???
oh btw.... I am just glad i dont have a 5 year old, the dogs run and hide outside for hours when I watch the Sooners play, especially teams from tejas... I'm just glad I am not alone anymore.....:thumbsup:
