PSU hoops fandom can be a trying task.. I've wrote a coping guide.
1) live 3 time zones away from the actual team.. log on to BWI and see anger/joy/frustration/elation.. only to think.. "Who knew.. hell I thought they didn't play until tomorrow?"
2) chime in with comments, but only after reading thru the in-game thread. If its ugly pile on like the 50 lb weakling who is the last guy on the pile in a pick up game of Smear the ... ahem.. Kill the Man. Find the angriest fan .. his name is usually @psufanatic03 and start complaining like you just found out the Hillary Clinton is your mother-in-law. Shame guys like @berg3438 for ever even having any faith at all. Being the facilities expert, I then chime in how Featheringhill Mortuary would be a better venue to play games in.
3) whatever you do.. and this is VERY IMPORTANT.. don't watch the games!! if you have to watch , turn it off at the 8 minutes left mark.. this will keep you from cursing out your spouse/dog/kids and keep your furniture and appliances in working order.
4) if you are expecting any type of offensive system, or an actual play that works after a crucial TO.. it's prob time to find another team..
5) expect the unexpected.. this is a scrappy bunch win or lose, Maryland likens us to FSU in the ACC, we play boss hoops about 3-4 games per year, you just better hope you are not the team that we face.. ask tOSU 2017-18.
6) expect one of our top 3 players to look completely stoned during games that mean anything.. the fun thing is, you never know which one it will be..
7) athletes need a recovery session.. PSU hoop fans need one too.. be it yoga/weed/booze/or amateur ladies who think sexy time on the internet is fun (feel free to use a combo of all 4).. .unless.. well unless you are @lionlover ..
