Are you ever so nervous you can't watch?

Ha! You thinks that's bad, you should have been AT the game as I was. I was 23 at the time and thought I was about to have the "big one" toward the end of the game.
I've never had that problem, but my Dad has always been that way. If we fell behind he'd get up and go out to his shop and piddle around. Sometimes he'd stick his head in the door and ask how it's going, and sometimes I'd go to the shop and tell him it was okay to come back inside. There have been times, since I've been grown, that I know he'd go to bed if we fell behind in a night game and I've called him and told him to: wake up 'cause we won! The championship game against UGA was one of those nights.
Crimsonaudio has it right. I love pulling for my team, but it has little affect on my life. That being said......Roll Tide !!!!
I'm the opposite, I can't look away. But there have 2 times I've gotten so mad I quit watching because I needed to go to work. Once was the Sack fest when I didn't want to see Brodie get killed during the game. The other was against Arkansas when we ended up losing when Leigh Tiffon missed the extra point in overtime. I was sitting in the car between store calls listening and I knew he would miss it even before he came on the field.
My wife knows when to watch the game from our bedroom...2017 CFPCG - I had to leave the ESPN Club because I was too upset to watch it in mixed company. But I went back to my hotel room and watched from there. My wife and I watched in different rooms in the hotel. So I guess that the answer is no - I watch - but sometimes I need to watch alone.
I think that we woke up the entire hotel when this happened:
Smart lady.
Some games I'm much worse than 'Funnymaine', like against LSU, Auburn, any Playoff Game.
I'm hardwired HARDCORE.
With me there is no such thing as just a game... I REALLY DON'T LIKE TO LOSE...
Every loss is painful, and etched in my memory.
(I hold a grudge)

I get nervous each Saturday a few hours before the game. I usually can't eat much on game day until after the game.
As an athlete, I never got nervous, but as a fan I do. I just want Bama to win (by a lot) with no injuries and don't like losing. I think Saban has contributed to my expectations being so high.
I am very nervous during games unless we have a 3 TD lead. I always watch though. I am not nervous if I actually go to a game, because I am staying busy, in that atmosphere, and having fun. It's just weird.
In reference to the 2nd and 26, I was at that game, more mad than nervous, but when Tua went in I became excited. I got home at 2am, watched the recorded game on TV, and never went to sleep.

I always start out a little nervous before games, (more so for big games versus games like New Mexico State etc), but am in there for every play, start to finish. I never get too nervous to watch, but kicking attempts lately are tempting me to hide my eyes for a minute!
Yep! I DVR'd the game Saturday; didn't want a heart attack. I was worried about Bama's DEFENSE. I didn't know who had won until about 6:30 p.m. on Saturday. You better believe that I will DVR the LSWho game. Yep! I was able to work in my yard and read three Books of the Bible from 2:00 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. I was afraid I'd turn the TV on and they would be in at least the 7th OVERTIME. As soon as I turned on the TV, ESPN was showing highlights of the CBS televised game. Only then could I relax and take a deep breath. If I'm at the game live, it doesn't bother me as much as watching the HYPE on TV. I guess I need to MUTE the TV and play soft instrumental music during Bama games.
With the way Joe B. is playing, he may throw for 500+ yards against Bama. Hopefully, Tua will throw for more TD's. Here's hoping Bama's DEFENSE will intercept 3 or 4 or more Joe B. passes.
I'm almost always a little nervous when there is a big game. But never so bad I can't watch (except for maybe FG and Extra Point attempts)
That said, this years LSU game already has me on edge.

No, I can always watch. But, the last minute of the 2016 CFB Championship game against Clemson made me a nervous wreck.

Due to my age I've seen The Tide win many more games than they have lost.I try to be more philosophical about it all instead of cussing the TV.What I cannot stand is poor effort and mistake filled football.
