[QUOTE="Sheboygan, post: 776169, member: 4690"] If you read my post, then you know I am NOT expecting a COMPLETE turnaround. What I expect in year three of this process is IMPROVEMENT, measured in wins. Who really cares if the offense is better and the defense is the same after 2 years? Maybe a few of us die-hard fans. But not many others. You seem to have several posters who confirm what you want to believe and consider them "experts". Is that confirmation bias ? Darn right it is. What I personally don't like , are the "experts" on this board ( measured by number of posts ?? )who put in writing that someone like me ( Tech grad 1973 , lifelong fan and more than casual observer, BTW) is tearing down their school and program. When I observe that IMO, the coaches are not meeting MY expectations because of lack of preparation , etc.. it gives me no pleasure in writing that. But I thought this board was about airing our grievances among TECH SUPPORTERS and would be treated with respect as a difference of opinion. This is not a board that I expect to get schooled ( hate fans like you, exaggerations are preposterous , My GOD ) by the self appointed experts on said board. Did I imply that if someone does not agree with me that they are " drinking the kool aid" or have "blinders on "? I could have, but I know and RESPECT that others have different opinions. The very LAST thing this program needs is to begin "eating our young". Does that mean we should all celebrate and sing kumbaya all the time ? Of course not ! But when we begin measuring fans to see if their opinions are "worthy " enough to be appreciated on a board that is specifically set up to encourage opinions, then I am afraid we are missing the mark. We cannot afford to put down or disrespect any TRUE Tech fan and make them feel as if they don't quite measure up. There are way too few of us as there is. THWG. [/QUOTE]
