It's been that way for as long as I can remember.
I guess people are just miffed after losses and want to vent their frustration. Same with call-in shows. I'd say the switchboards light up when UK loses; after wins, not so much.
After wins, you can talk strategy. You can analyze the game and all that. People can look at the defense and the stats and break it all down.
After losses, people are too mad to do that. They get into the ten loss Tubby stuff and start posting in cliche and this watery, sloppy thought. They're not concerned with the game, they're only concerned with how bad Tubby is. (When a lot of times, the coach may have coached a good game but still lost. But never mind that.)
We're all guilty of ranting, though. I've joined in on my share of Tubby Must Go threads, so I can't stand back sanctimoniously and act like I haven't.
It's too...emotional after losses. But it's a catch-22, because it's also bland after wins. :nada:

Bottom line:
After a loss, the ones with an agenda have fuel for their hatred. :shrug:

You are right. It's because of human nature. We're quicker to find fault than compliment. Goes back to the whole, "Are humans basically good or evil?" argument.
Great win. Go Cats!

Its human nature to question a loss more. UK fans are just so passionate and we expect a win every game so obviously losing a game will have more posts.
