Do you have to pretend to want the Sooners to win when they play OSU?

I was kind of a closet OSU fan at one point. That was until the fans started pulling the "we hope Oklahoma beats Tennessee since they're in the same conference."

You never, ever want your rival to win regardless of conference alignment. It'd be like a Vol Fan hoping Vandy wins against like Stanford.

The Cowboys will always suck. They are the Mississippi State of the Big 12. Crappy location with decent talent from time to time.

If Terror University had Hitler at QB, with Biden as coach and the rest of the team made up of LG, Loother, and a gang of child molesters....

I would still pull for them to beat the gators by half a hundred points.

I am incapable of "pulling" for Flarduh. I would seriously pray for a meteor, F5 tornado, tactical nuke etc to level the entire stadium though.

I quit smoking two years ago. I basically locked myself in the garage or stayed at work for two weeks. Had to avoid the wife and kid. Wouldn't have made it, or would have been murdered, had I not taken such actions.

I couldnt have stopped smoking had I not switched to heroin.

Congrats! My Dad smoked (Camels) from the time he joined the Army Air Corps in 1942 until around 1972, when he asked my sis what she wanted for her 14th birthday ... she told him that she wanted him to quit smoking. And he did, cold turkey. Lived to be 92.

This relationship is about to be seriously tested.

My wife, over our 20 plus year relationship has tried to quit many times ... during which i greatly altered my own habits to help. Quit smoking on our porch, didnt smoke immediately around or in front of her etc, despite the fact that i had no desire or stated intention of quitting when she did. All this accomplished despite much hard work, prayer, every patch...gum..etc method tried....was to make her miserable for weeks at a time. Followed by depression and embarrassment from having failed yet again etc.

It was a real joy to be around each and every time and never, ever put any strain on our relationship...in addition that is to being absolutely psychotic every 3 weeks roughly at the hormone dump. (Not roughly a month like most women, 3 weeks)

Great times were had by all...and patience and kindness in great supply. Sometimes when I am driving alone, i daydream about all the joy and laughter during those precious times of self denial...and my heart swells with gratitude.*

You want a pathetic story?

My BiL and sister were married for like 25 years..He died 7 years ago almost to the day..in a hotel in the arms of another woman..a nasty employee.
It was UT-FLA week when I was in Houston.
He was one of my best friends and had it all. Owned a store 2 miles from the cabin house at the foot of a mountain...played golf..we played all the private clubs in Nooga..Good times..and this stinker.
What the heck were you thinking?

I should not of shared this..but this week is sad for me for other reasons.
