The "I turned it off" confession thread.

[RedTeamUpstream94]

I have no problem with being labeled a loser. I turned it off. You are on changing the drink next time

Yeah I turned it off. My choice. Affects no one

Much of less of a “crime” than people filling the game thread with vitriol

 

[RedTeamUpstream94]

The people who turned it off are the ones who needed to relax

What does it matter to anyone. My choice. What do you care what happens to be on my tv screen? LOL

I admit it. I turned it off a few minutes into the second half. Just didn't see any hope and didn't want to spend my Sunday night grumpier than I already was.

Put it back on when my brother texted me a "tied" and a thousand exclamation points. Saw the very end.

I never turn any game off, even football. If it’s a blowout especially in football I watch to see what some younger guys do given more minutes.

Only complete losers turn a game of this importance off

The correct move is to change drinks. Switched to bud light from old fashioned down 19 and saved the game

I turned it off at 23-7 and went back to work on some PPT slides for tomorrow.

Turned it back on tied at 54. We win. Everybody's happy

Seen enough sports in my life to know it wasn't over.

Certainly didn't THINK we'd win, but wasn't willing to concede.

And I'm used to RU making me grumpy!

 

[zebnatto]

I confess.

I had a different strategy. When we went down 19, I went in my music room, put the game on the TV without sound and pounded away at my drum set. I didn’t stop until we were down 5. It was great to get all the nervous energy out and it seems to have worked!

I tuned out during the PSU run opening the second half.
The wife said"you know what's gonna happen now right?" Said I'd get the update later after they won.
Totally got the "I told you so!" later on.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Had it on whole time.

Same. Follow through till end.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

You're a fkin obsessed weirdo.

I think yous both need a time out! Go Rutgers!!

 

[wheezer]

I turned it off in the first half, came back at half time. Turned it off again when PSU scored like 9 straight in two minutes to start the second, then turned it back on a few minutes later

I readily admit changing the channel for five minutes or so
Have done this in the past and a lot of the times we get a bit closer while I am not watching
A superstitious type of thing

I find that after several old fashions I worry a lot less and the pain of losing is significantly lessened
