Imma be honest guys I have no idea where the “get the downs” thing came from or what it even means

I think that “get the downs” comes from an old Katy Perry song and then it was adopted by football fans in the mid 2010s

I’m getting the sense this idea was not very well received, but maybe that’s just me 🤷‍♂️

There was an old woman behind me at the Illinois game this year that kept yelling it, so I joined her

Years ago when I was in college, there was an awful sasquatch of a woman sitting behind me from the opposing team that was a broken record yelling, "GET THE QUARTERBACK, GET THE QUARTERBACK, GET THE QUARTERBACK," every play no matter what was going on the field. Then after every play she would finish things off by saying, "YOU'RE ALL SUPERSTARS!"

FWIW, I always thought "get the downs" was about telling a poster they might need to be check for downs syndrome, prior to getting the context out of this thread - which I love, btw.

Just too many small minded IDIOTS that don't understand NextGen Stats...I'm not phased. People said Edison could never invent the airplane either - now Bezos plays "just the tip" with space, ya know?

1. Is that lady the same who started "GET THE DOWNS!!"? Possible. Lady sounds like a true visionary.

2. It's a versatile phrase.

3. Some people just sit back and are told what's important. At tPB, we determine what's important for others to know. Real Trend Setters.

FUCK that's good. If you didn't start so negative, you'd be a shoe-in for the staff. I'll see what positions we have available, and then whether or not those openings match your skillset.

@lee_carvallo_12 volunteering just saved us a HUGE amount. Very kind of him - probably cuz he's loaded as fuck anyways. He is our equivalent of a big time Head Coach taking a 35K/year salary in Saban's rehab. I am confident he will receive a huge pay day shortly down the road.

The rest of our assistant pool is up to 7Mil. We aren't interested in hiring celebrities. We are going after a hard working, committed, principled, crew of EXPERTS first and foremost.

Our analysis of Down Getting will not only be trailblazing, but unrivaled for years to come.

I guess I can be a substitute if someone gets Down With the Sickness.

System of the Downs could be shortened to SOTD. I already know I'm going straight to Hell so don't judge but this GIF always made me chuckle. And before the PC Police come after me note that I have 3 Special Needs Niece/Nephews that I help take care of at times when my brother & his wife need a sanity break from them. I can totally see my niece saying this, and wearing the outfit. 16 and her current favorite fashion trend is dressing in Unicorn Outfits/clothing.
