i have season tickets and besides the home opener, you can tell the crowd is not as into it from the the second the national anthem is over..its sad. i went to school at oregon and i remember two years ago people would get kickedc out of bars for starting uncontrollable blazer chants. seems liek those days are over....come on rip city. wheres they hey song? that shit use to get people riled up...and the other song..."and i feel so good, so good" none of that shit gets played anymore
I hope you reconsider. I won't speak for anyone else - but in my mind it has been a 2 edged sword. The hostility of the sunshine pumpers towards the realists reached a fever pitch this summer. I take no joy in being right about this being a trainwreck of a season, but I am angry, even bitter, about the way some people responded to even the most innocuous and obvious comments. (EG the people who ripped me a new one for saying Wiliams was hurt) I felt as if the "excuses-r-us" crowd was turning me against the team. There is still room here for a happy medium. We can still have rational discussions about how to fix this mess. For some of us, brainstorming how to fix this mess is the only hope we have to cling to! If posters like you leave, we will never find that middle ground.
Fans aren't jumping ship ... yet. There was the Duck game, an exciting Boise State game right after, it was a Friday night, Thanksgiving weekend, etc. etc. The roller coaster game threads will be back..
i think this season so far is almost impossible to really get a hold of. thats the problem. even the team isnt sure what they have. thats the issue. i mean we could get the 7th seed or be under 30 wins. theres too many questions about this team. if roy gets better as season goes on.... we make a trade.... who the fuck knows.
Why does it have to be a ship? Why not a bus that can't slow down or it will explode? Or maybe a train full of chemical waste that's running out of control? Maybe a plane with the engines that have stopped?
Or the team is Luke Skywalker and we're on the final run to destroy the deathstar. One shot or it's all over.
Alot of it for me is I have to watch these f-in games online and to keep it on full screen I cant be in another window. Even with my tv active as a dual monitor. But yeah ducks had a lit to do with last night I'm sure too. But yes I'm sure that many "fans" have jumped ship already although I don't necessarily think that's the case here or with many forums where the fans are at least invested enough to talk abou them on a forum in their free time like we are
I've never been one to partake in the game threads all that often. As Wheels said, I also am streaming the games online, so flipping back and forth to post is pointless. But, I agree with an earlier poster in other fans driving me away from here, but not from being a fan. I don't want or expect every post to be a sunshine homer kool-aid drinking post. That's annoying and absurd. But it's not fun as a fan to want to talk about your favorite sports teams with others, and have the other people incessantly whining and complaining about everything. Roy is done, Oden is a bust, nate is an ass-clown. Ok. I've read it 100 times now. Why bother coming back on here to see if someone said it again? It'll be a tough and trying season for sure. Maybe we lose Nate at the end of it. I wish we would have kept Monty around, personally. To promote him. Not a fan of our current assistants. And I'm actually intrigued at the possibility of a quick and fast "rebuild" or retooling. Curious as to prospects we can get, etc. At the same time, I have not at all given up on this season. I still think we can and will make the playoffs. Even without Roy. I'm excited to watch Batum this season. Excited to watch LMA with more pressure on his shoulders. And to see progression hopefully from Matthews, Cunningham and Johnson.
