When you know you are going to lose a wager
Would you rather have your tits slapped in early or your heart ripped out losing a close game at the end

Tits slapped in for me

If it is a last second loss, at least you were always in it.

I'll go with the heart ripped out scenario.

Rather shake my nerves with a close loss than scratch my head trying to figure out why the heat are up by 30 when I have the 6ers. Ugh.

now now Ronnie. Va Tech was getting their asses kicked most of the game. We had no business even being close to the win on that one. So, while it sucks to lose either way, I'd rather be in it to the end.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?
