  4. Posters: Whats different this young season?

    Posted · Edited by IC Khari

    I don't mind unhappy posters despite how irrational many of you think they are (heck maybe some of you think I'm one of them this year ;)). At least it shows passion which is a sign there's still a heartbeat for the patient. My wife is a fan of the Cleveland Browns, having been born there, and if you had a chance to talk to their fanbase or go to one their discussion forums like she has (it was way worse before Lebron helped secure the city a long awaited pro sports championship) you'd see that aside from a few diehards, generally there's nothing but apathy and a who cares anymore attitude. You can't blame them, this is born out of years, generations really, of knowing their team had no chance at a Super Bowl. Thats in a 32 team league. In many ways our predicament is better, but maybe worse as well. Not being able to win in a 8 - 9 team league in a quarter century is tough on a fanbase (although the Riders went over 50 years before they finally won in 1966 ;)) Surprised there aren't more people who just don't care anymore. it's a testament to the love Winnipeg has for this franchise. At least we're not at a Cleveland Brown level of apathy yet and hopefully never get there.

    yeah the amount of stupid **** I read after game 1 was just mind blowing. People have been so beaten down after the last couple seasons they lose all hope instantly. 

    Sorry, but you explode enough nuclear weaponry, there's bound to be fall out and the lasting consequences of that are not fixed over night. We're talking generations here. I'll leave it up to you to decide who the exploders are, but it's fitting that the team's name is Bombers. People are not happy with the results of the past 4 seasons in particular and the perception of hopelessness (when it comes to ever being in a position to win a Grey Cup) in general. I will give the current administration props, the team has really tried to fix the problems, they may just be dealing with too much radioactivity to clean up. I hope they can. Quality play at QB will help in that regard. I hope they start getting that from Willy. In the meantime, I'm always going to root for them to do so, and will continue to go to games, buy tickets etc. I hope others will as well. It's hard to get excited in an irradiated wasteland. Hopefully that makes sense ...

    If I'm the jets I take a long look at Tinordi. Ofcourse he has to have overcome his issues that got him suspended but if he has he might be worth it. Should come cheap. Is young and will get playing tom here. 

    Good pedigree, his Dad being Mark the captain of the North Strars/Stars etc. Why not check him out?
