Well Billy....that statement did have some crystal ball remarks in it, but at the time it was said pretty much everything was based on factual evidence. At the time the post was made, the team had dropped 3 or 4 pre-season games and a regular season road opener. At that point in the 2003-2004 year, no the defense hadn\'t gotten better. To say that they will not get better was that person\'s individual assumption and there is no way that it could be based on facts. Just like saying the defense WILL get better would be the same. So in that right, saying it will or won\'t is unjustified, but that it may or may not would be justified. It then falls to a question of semantics and how statements are interpretted.

Everyone on here is guilty of making hard statements to try to emphasize the conviction of their opinions. I guess that leaves them open to criticism as well.
