So, btching about it will make it better? Or it won't? I have trouble where you imply 'sunshine pumper' comments don't help....and acknowledge btching won't change it either, but then you tell pumpers they need to quit pumping sunshine while you continue to btch.
And you're basically asking people to stop having hope because we suck TODAY and you don't want to hear how it can get better?
I get it. We're in the off season, so this stuff is all we really have to talk about. It's why I tolerate your negativity, because it's just as justified 'venting/hoping' as the rest of us pumpers. There is nothing much else to talk about, and we all accept our words won't change it. But that's no reason to tell pumpers to stop pumping, unless it is equally fair to tell you negative nellies to stop negating...negativing....negasomethinging.
Does it piss me off? No, honestly. It's not that important in my life, and maybe that's the driving difference. For me, I couldn't tell you what classes we pulled in before SOS, but more to the point when we were winning for a decade under him, I couldn't tell you what recruiting we had. All I knew was I loved UF and they went from bad to great, then bad again with Zook and good again with Meyer and bad again with WM, and ....we'll see what's next. But bottom line, I've never had so much of myself invested that it mattered to me who was on staff, how we recruited, how many stars a kid had or what we were ranked preseason. All that ever mattered was when I watched the game on Saturday, we played well and won, preferably in dominant fashion.
My life is easier knowing it will go on regardless of all these factors I cannot control. I'll enjoy what I can get from it, and when it sucks...well, it sucks (ie WM era). I'll get mad on that Saturday and hope for better next Saturday. That's my nature, try to enjoy what works out and not get hung up on the things that go bad, especially when they are so far outside my control.
By the way, if he gets that top 5 class this year, does that solve all the world's woes? If he gets a 6th ranked class, are we fkd? Should we fire him that day? Does the team's performance over the season matter all that much, or is it just landing this class? I'll agree, landing a solid class makes winning easier, but if he wins anyway with a 6th, or 12th, or 21st ranked class....do we still fire him? You seem to have way too much emotional investment on things you cannot control.
