homer theory. Of course I root for things to come out well for us. I also have said things like Georgia is the team to beat, or the SEC is/was the best conference. That does not sound like a homer to me. Yes, at my age I still get fired up every week we play. I got extra annoyed this year because we have the second longest winning streak in the nation, with our average victory around 28 points and were playing great football with a real shot at winning the whole thing. I did say I thought we could/would whip Indiana but that was enthusiasm carried away more than being a homer. A team Alabama, got in playing horribly the last four out of five games they played, and only beat another overrated team, Oklahoma, that I objectively felt we were better than. I think that is objective and the only thing that could possibly label me a homer was I wouln't have cared so much if somebody else got screwed instead of us. I also said Miami deserved to be ranked and in the tourney ahead of us. Don't criticize by calling me a homer, criticize if you disagree. I have admitted in the past when I am wrong and will always do so.
I guarantee I keep my cool regarding a loss because I know flukey things happen in sports and sometimes you get beat by a better team that day.
