    Did you somehow read in my post that I'm suggesting that he's not entitled to think the team won't win more than 30 games? I'd love for you to point that out to me.

    The consistent tenor of his posts is less, "We don't know if this team is any good", and more, "You people should not be so excited about preseason/one game." That is what I take issue with--not his personal choice on how excited to be, but his arrogant condescension in attempting to dictate the same to others.

    Again, I did not intimate that any fan should/should not view the team in any certain way, or that there is a minimum acceptable level of excitement. If you read anything like that into what I posted, that's your problem, not mine.

    I thought it was clear who I was talking about there, and it's not you. Didn't mean for it to come across that way.

    Which is why I opened my post with "Not that you're wrong, but there's a flip side to that."

    I miss Wes too...but not for the money he's making.

    Vaya con dios, Wes. It was fun while it lasted.

    We're in a better place.

    :cheers:

    HCP and KingSpeed are two sides of the same coin. They both act like anyone who doesn't think like they do is a bad fan. Both mindsets can be annoying.

    I think HCP is more schtick than anything... though I know a couple times we got his lawnmower revving.

    Exactly. If us fans weren't too emotional about someone else playing a game, too high and too low, professional sports would go broke. :)

    Depends on what kind of coin it is? A big gold one is much less annoying.

    Yeah; why does HCP get paid more than a ditch digger and the players make millions? Because we want to watch them.

    Tough skittles they have to put up with some overreaction and unfair criticism at times.

    If they don't want to hear it don't pull up the website, Twitter, TV, etc.

    I figured I should omit the political signature since I'm in blazer season! :)

    It shouldnt be. 3 game losing streaks (may) happen a lot this year. Nothing wrong with that. Still gonna enjoy the hell out of the games.

    I just did not like how you said "after we lose," and not "if we lose."

    I'm with you but in these msg boards...one loss is a slight grumble...two is a freakout and three is blow it up and fire the coach...it's predictable..check thread titles around the time Wes snapped his Achilles and you'll see a trend

    Lol, this thread is hilarious. I knew things were going to be homeriffic after that win but this made me crack up. I do not believe we are a better team overall but we certainly will be funner to watch. Anyways it was a nice first game but lets relax and watch say 10 games before we make any crazy predictions.
