Message: [QUOTE="The Funster, post: 2460431, member: 831"] Here's my personal belief. You don't boo the kids. You never boo the kids because they are are still young, largely immature and they take their direction from the well paid adults who coach them. I don't even like to see the kids put down on a message board. Even when the coach is a complete jackwagon (see PP and BD) I still won't boo because the kids will think I'm booing them. You got issues with someone being paid and not performing their job, you take it up with their boss. I've never gone to UConn (took some classes at Stamford back in the day) and began rooting for the team in 79 when the Big East formed. I listened on crappy radios to ICC and watched snowy televisions to the old channel 20. In those nearly 40 years I have had more thrills, seen so many great plays and so many great players. I've been able to watch four great runs to the NC. This program doesn't owe me anything. In the old days of the BY we always said we wouldn't want to be like the fans of other programs if we won multiple titles and guess what? We are. I'm not telling anybody how to root or be a good fan or any of that crap. What I'm saying is to the old timers, don't forget what it was like before JC, before 99. For the newcomers, be grateful you've experienced nothing but success. All good things come to an end and if this is the end? Let's go out th some dignity and some gratitude. We've been very lucky.
