How To Cure Being An NCAA Football Homer Especially For UGA and GT Fans

I have thought about many ways to encourage homers to get over themselves and their teams.

Here are some initial ideas for homers:

1. Quit talking about and following football all together.
2. Force yourself to say something powerfully good about your opponents and their conference.
3. Quit spending money on football all together. There is an entire book, called The Treasure Principle, based on the premise that where you spend your money is where your heart goes.

I have many other extreme ideas like this but I realized that they are unrealistic for a true homer.

So here is the best cure I can come up with for a homer:

• Don't express a thought that you have about football unless you have 2 articles from legit media sources to support it. When I write "thought" for a homer that means a lie in favor of your team or against another team or conference that is not your own.
• Only repeat facts.

So for GT fans instead of saying "Moreno sucks", you would say, "Moreno pulled himself out of several games and ran a 4.6/40 at the NFL combine."

So for UGA fans instead of saying "Paul Oliver shut down Calvin Johnson", you would say, "Calvin Johnson had a low production game while Paul Oliver was guarding him."

Needless to say, anyone that believes "Moreno sucks" or that "Paul Oliver shut down Calvin Johnson" is a complete sold out homer and worshipper of the homer god. I wish it was legal to physically beat people like this.
