[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 81321, member: 639"] I understand being upset. I understand acknowledging that things aren't looking good. I get all of that. I just don't understand thinking that the only way it is worth watching is if I am pleased with the proceedings. Sports are about the struggle, the competition. As a player the games that meant the most to me were always the ones that were hard fought. As a coach I would say the same thing. I just don't see how being a fan is that much different from being on the sideline. What would you think if half the players just decided to walk to the locker room in the 3rd quarter? Maybe I am totally crazy, but as a fan and a supporter of the program, I feel just as invested in the proceedings as if I was in uniform. Maybe it is because I WAS one of them years ago. I dunno. Whatever. I am not passing judgement so much as expressing confusion. I just don't understand the mentality. That is all. Sports isn't entertainment like a movie, or at least it isn't to me. Not when it is MY team. I'll walk out on a bad movie in a heartbeat. That is art and if I don't like the art and know I won't like the art for the next hour, so be it. I just don't view sports the same way. [/QUOTE]
