PresIke, I can only speak for myself, but I love the declaring that goes on in the game threads before the game. I use it as a way to pump myself up before the game and have fun sharing the BS with others who like to do the same. And believe me I have a pretty good idea that they're gonna lose these games, but that goes into the analysis threads. The game threads for me are more for the fun of getting up to watch the games, get a little crazy and boastful with everyone, put on your "game face," trash the other team, you know the crap you'd do if you were getting together with friends to have a few and watch the game.
