Serious question:
Why does everyone delight so much and feel like it’s such an important birthright to participate in the Gameday Threads?
IMO, it’s easily the worst thread on the forum every week. It isn’t insightful. It’s basically just a bunch of people typing one sentence like “Come on! Need a stop here!” or “Gillllly! Yess!” It’s not very informative, insightful, and it moves so fast that, IMO, very little is gained from participating in it. And of course there’s a lot of negative emotions because everyone is on edge, as the game can’t possibly live up to expectation as it’s taking place. I’ll go to them once in a while, but I know what they’re going to be, which are just not great by the nature of the thread itself.
The pre-game analysis, post-game reaction thread, and then breakdowns later in the week are fantastic. GDT? Not even sure why I go on there...it’s just added stress. Watching the game is stressful enough.
