I punched a hole through the wall of my fraternity house during the WVU football game in 2006. It felt amazing.

...i did fix it, which felt less good.

I was at work and so drained by the end I just oozed out the chair in my office onto the floor.

If we had a run then my men would have had to carry me to the rig.

I don't know why you folk aren't embarrassed to admit you act out physically with anger or disappointment.

I’m part Irish and prone to futile violent outbursts. I blame the British.

Thanks. But size I have to replace is a 50". I think I'll go to Costco this morning and pick one up.

Really? We haven't been to the dance in 29 years. I've been a huge supporter of sports and academics at Rutgers for more than forty years. I've never done anything like that before, and I probably won't again in the future.

But I have to say, I don't feel sorry for what I did. In fact, I feel pretty damn good as I write this the next day. I think that was 29 years of pent up frustration. And no I'm not trying to defend my actions. But you're certainly quick to judge them. Are you perfect?

Get a bigger TV and tell your wife you got it because yours just wasn't good enough for her

 

[PiscatawayMike]

I find it ironic you busted your TV due to an uncalled screen violation.

hmmm.. doubling down. Okay.

if you're looking for a bargain the series 6 TCL is a deal. You should measure the width of the set if that is the requirement. bezels have gotten smaller. You might be able to get same footprint with larger screen... say 55 inch.

The vizio P-series if it comes in that size is also good. OLED's might be too good a picture and the jig will be up.. also not sure costo would have OLED in that size.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

OK, Gandhi.

So now it takes Ghandi levels of peacefulness to not punch things in a blind rage?

 

[tru2ru1]

Also, I never had to jump on any bandwagon. I’ve been attending Rutgers basketball games since I’ve been 6 years old...

Judging by the content of your posts, this means that you have been attending RU basketball games for a total of 6 years!

Worked on the trading desk late 90s and early 2k. A lot of guys kept extra telephone receivers just so they can smash them.

Remember reading about Jim Cramer keeping a closet filled with replacement keyboards, monitors and landline telephones. Apparently, he was/is prone to violent outbursts. :Wink:

I just purchased a new Samsung. I've had Samsung's, Sony's and Vizio's in my house. I've already hooked everything up, but thanks for the suggestions.

OP can we see some pics.

Sorry. I already threw it out. All I can say is thank God my wife was away on business. I have never done anything like that and most likely again. But I can assure you, I shattered the entire screen.

Has the trash been picked up?
We need photos!!!

You should keep a bat next to the TV.
(But hopefully you won’t have to go Office Space on it until football season.)

The TCL would have been cheap enough to replace again should our name not be called on the Selection Show.

In hindsight, I would have never done that to my TV or anything of value. I wish I took a picture of it, but I was so disgusted with myself I threw it out in that night's trash before snapping a picture.

Great job RU man. If Rutgers hasn't made you break stuff over a loss through the years I gotta question how happy you are after a win. They are inversely proportional. I definitely get the lifetime of pent of frustration.

This has become my favorite thread here, ever.

I won't even criticize you anymore SHU fan, because Don Mattingly was one of my favorite baseball players ever!

You should have finished the job.

There’s a place in NYC called Break Bar, where you can smash glasses, electronic equipment, etc. Wasteful I know, but very cathartic. Maybe we should rent it out for a selection show watch party.

So how’s the new TV?

Thanks for asking. I bought another Samsung but a 4K this time. And when my wife got home from her business trip, I decided to tell her what happened. Instead of being mad, she surprisingly, understood. She said, "If I had to root for a team that always breaks my heart, I think I would break something too." Married 23 years, she's a keeper. But I do have to take her out to a nice restaurant tonight and a movie. LOL!

Hopefully the new TV will have better results than the last one.
