We need to stop the trolls from being negative and supporting their threads. The staff is on a learning curve for recruiting and this team is still looking to find itself. The conference will not bury us. What will bury us is being a negative fan base. We had the luxury of a man who loved negativity in this job for the last 20 years.. KO and staff gave us a title year 1 of available chances to win one. Give him room and give him positives. For heavens sake take heart in the fact that no one here is qualified to judge this staff or the last staff in any way. Go Blue. Go Ollie. Go AAC. Get on the bus and cheer or get the hell off.
Personally I share your sentiment. But I'm pretty positive about things.
For one thing I'm positive it's in humanities DNA not to accept things as they are. Most of us believe we've figured things out while the rest of humanity doesn't have a clue and needs to catch up.
I'm positive that negativity is stronger than positivity. I'm positive that fear pervades our being. I'm positive that we can suppress this fear when things are going well and during these times we feel positive. I'm positive that this positivity is short lasting and that the moment things turn bad the negative kicks in burying the positivity.
I'm positive we often forget or minimize our past negativity and romanticize the past over the present. I'm positive we generalize things and not always in a good way. I'm positive some of us feel better by targeting others or other things in a negative way. I'm positive some of us feel good when we feel bad.
I'm positive that this forum behaves "normally" in comparison to how we, as humans, behave in general.
Therefore I'm positive that you're shoveling sh!!t against the tide (father-in-law was a coast guard guy).
