Message: [QUOTE="Walker11, post: 2443178, member: 380"] If you want to talk about the fickle nature of fans, it would be worthwhile pointing towards statements about individual players even more so than views on KO and the trajectory of the team. I don't think anyone I really respect as a poster was changing their mind about KO after the Oregon game. The mood was better but there weren't posts praising KO for figuring it out - actually, there were some in regards to him going so small (even though that was entirely out of necessity) but not much. But it is funny to read comments about individual players and their outlook, especially the freshman big men after games versus mid-majors and an undersized Oregon team, versus comments against a top 3 frontcourt in the country. All of a sudden, guys who were worthy of threads raving over their potential became the subjects of posts railing against our recruiting. I can appreciate that every fanbase is probably about the same. But being so immersed in one fanbase, I have to admit that I often feel that such a entitled and fickle and fairweather fanbase maybe doesn't deserve nice things. Especially us younger posters who weren't here from the beginning. [/QUOTE]
