Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 2448381, member: 3535"] A fan also appreciates his or her team winning. A fan appreciates it when his or her team has played other good teams and has blown out every one of his or her opponents. A fan appreciates the dynasty of the team he or she follows and can recognize that 20 year olds are not perfect. You know while there are some fans that certainly are cheerleaders there are also some fans that see ghosts around every corner. Here are some examples. [U]OFC if you believe in one or two etc below maybe fine but after a point it gets really absurd. [/U]We can all disagree on things we prefer etc. One or two never bother me -- but the accumulation. It' s like we're fans but at opposite sides of the universe on what we liek to see/ feel what is is best. 1- For example the ones that invented a scenario in their minds that the team would suffer because of a problem with minutes this year. Every year we have to hear "THIS YEAR" will be "THEEE problem." Blah. Blah Blah. 2- Or the ones who think it is vital to give decent minutes to the 13/14/15th players on the bench. 3- Or the ones who think it is more important to develop players 9-15 rather than reward players 1-7. 4- Or the ones that thought players predominantly ranked in high school around 15-50 would have a good chance to break into the lineup this year with a lineup in which UCONN has 6 players already on the all-american watch list along with the 7th player a number ranked recruit along with eventual Camara who was previously ranked around 12-18 three years ago meaning she probably is better. But let's criticize Geno because he's not giving minutes to the lesser player or criticize the freshmen that they aren't near as good as the college all-americans even though they were never ranked to be as good? 5- Or the type of fan from last year in which UCONN playing at ND pointed out all the wrong UCONN was doing in the game and when UCONN won, didn't mention one good thing the whole game that UCONN did. How many fans don't appreciate beating a rival while UCONN plays well? After all - leading up to the season - UCONN wasn't supposed to be that good. So why BOTHER to say at least ONE good thing? Damn cheerleaders! 6- Or the fans that think Geno Auriemma OWES THEM explanations on player personnel decisions. 7-- Or the fans that watched UCONN play a good schedule and blow every one out so after 5 games in which one of their superstars and another valued player have played little to nothing- they are somehow "disturbed" the the 20 year olds haven't annihilated the good teams who have scholarship player's too- by more. They are not just a "mere disappointed" but actually "disturbed." How dare these kids "disturb" us fans and only "merely" blow teams out. Damnit I sit on my couch and demand more!!! 8/9 -- Or this winner that the fan demands UCONN exhibit proper sportsmanship yet in the next breath suggest UCONN play 40 minutes of hell / press the whole game - because OUR BENCH PLAYERS NEED MINUTES. So let's criticize Geno for not employing this non-stop running tactic and lets wipe out teams like SMU by 90 points instead of 50. Let's really try hard to wear them down for a FULL 40 minutes. That'll teach SMU who's boss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Press!!! Press!!! Press!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
