I realized yesterday that I visit and participate in conversations on this site wayyyyyy more in the offseason than I do during football season. It's probably because I need some recruiting chatter to engage in because nobody else that I talk to face to face knows anything about it. And during the season I talk with coworkers about the games enough to where I don't really want to get on here because I've heard it all and talked about it already. For those that participate during the games, I envy you. Once the first quarter is done with I've already thrown back 5 or 6 Michelob Ultras and I'm in no mood to try and multitask. Just curious. I know alot went on here last season that I missed. How many of you feel this way?

C. None of the above. I participate equally offseason and during the season. I, like you, don't participate during the games though.
All of the above. All the time.
I tried being on here during games, but it was too depressing. Seems like the most critical and angry elements come out during games (including me sometimes) and a little bit of time puts a more rational perspective on things. I sometimes go back and read through the in-game comments, or occasionally comment during quarter breaks, but I enjoy it more just watching with my family and interacting with or reading comments from other hard-core fans here afterwards!
C.
Less variety of topics in season I think.
I mainly get on here for the recruiting news, so I guess I'm fairly equal.
I check in here atleast twice a day whether I participate or not. This is my one stop shop for all things Dawgs related. The only downside that I've noticed coming here so often is that I don't read as many novels and books as I used to, however, I now seem to have the leg up on Dawg news by checking in here first.
I visit just to power trip and feed my tremendous ego
I'm confused by the excessive number of choices in the poll question.
I'm on during your morning constitutional as well. Is that weird?
Could be with a little work.
Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. I am SUPER (mod) HAPPY for you.
Didn’t vote. When I can and it’s always at least once a day.
same. I never go into game day threads though. The amount of chicken littles bemoaning any kind of negative play gets exhausting.
Sample:
Play...D'Andre Swift run up the middle, stuffed for little to no gain on 2nd down
Reaction...
"What the heck?! Why is Cheney calling a run right there ?! Does he know we have wideouts? God forbid he call a pass play once in a while. I swear we are losing this game. We need to fire him immediately! Hold on, I'm about to go start three threads complaining about this one play."
Next play...Jake Fromm fires a laser to a streaking JJ Holloman who jukes the secondary on his way to a touchdown where he carries the ball over the goal line and we go up 28-3 after a Hot Rod XP.
Reaction...
Crickets. Doesn't post again for a week.
Usually every day, when I am effing off at work.
I’ve spent way too much time on UGA football forums (here and DawgPost before it went under). Got me through a tour in Iraq in 2008 and has become a virtual obsession. I’m constantly checking in throughout the day. I’ve been fortunate to have jobs that allowed me the time to check in regularly on a daily basis. Probably need to have another choice on the poll that says “always”. About the only time I don’t visit the forum is during a game.
Are we playing guess the poster, because I’m pretty sure it’s your favorite friend from NYC!
It was more of a catchall for all immediately negative posters. we have a few
