If they lose my mood shifts for the rest of the day and if they win I am ecstatic. . ]]> 2018-11-30 17:15:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lammons19/lammonstedx/wish/309877406 lammons19 https://padlet.com/lammons19/lammonstedx/wish/309878752 There are three components of the talk that I will be discussing.

People love a sense of community and through sports they can find a home. ]]> 2018-11-30 17:20:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lammons19/lammonstedx/wish/309879756 lammons19 https://padlet.com/lammons19/lammonstedx/wish/309880817 Rational, Fair weather or lunatics. These are the three stages that a fan can be at.
