Tough Times Reveal Character of 'fans'

There's a coup de' etat!!! Ruuuun!!!

First of all I understand people being disappointed right now. Who isn't? I sure as hell am. I also understand some getting upset about people getting upset. Its a turbulent time right now. Its not like 2012 when we could blame it on the coach being gone. Or the 70's, 80's or 90's when we didn't expect anything really great (aside from a few seasons).

Fans are used to winning and want to see a better product from the team. Others are getting mad because of the opinions voiced here and are defending the team in the name of honorable fandom.

I can say this: the only thing that makes a Failcon fan is complete blasphemy and fairweather fandom. I don't think anyone here falls into that category.

If you're unsure about what you post, then think what the Failcon fans are saying about us after its posted. No need to give them ammunition. We certainly don't want it to appear that there's some kind of coup.

What a load of junk.

Some people let off steam and whinge, just like you are. It is human. Some people insist, 'everything is ok!' , while others get anxious, sound off and yell out 'screw this crap!'

A lot of it is talk, like guys sounding of in a bar, full of sound and fury, signifying NOTHING.

If they yell that out for 10 years, so what? They are still there, hanging in.

If they jump ship, sure they are fair weather fans, but there is nothing wrong with a cry of pain, or a moan of disappointment and anxiety, however confronting and painful you may find it.

Tbh, much fan infighting seems poorly akin to accusing someone of not being a patriot because they question their government - and that is a load of crap.

His posts do serve a purpose. Every time I read one I thank God my dad didn't marry his sister.

I'm thinking Choupique is the real Unknown Who Dat !

You can always count on Chopique to raise himself above everyone else and to generally create negative feelings.
