Precisely! I'm not a season ticket holder, but if I was and I witnessed the Ark.Little Rock/ WVU games, I'd ask why am I paying more for less? Would we prefer a more apathetic fan base with little upside expectations? Not me! You aren't paying more for less. Teams don't just improve and improve in a linear sort of way. There are good years and not so good years. I suggest that you don't buy the tickets. Others probably will. I suggest you read my previous response...I'm not a season ticket holder!

Calling people idiots for ripping a player is kind of ironic, don't you think? I'm not talking about a player if you had noticed Irrelevant. Either you believe it's okay to trash someone or you don't.

Ok, the only question I have at this stage is when is AFA going to update it's 2015 schedule to reflect the MW Championship game to be played in SAN DIEGO??
ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!!!! Are the billboards out? Is there tv and radio ads? This is bullsh*t. I ultimately couldn't make it to San Diego this weekend, sadly, so I treated myself to a hockey game.
Come home and see that UNM beats AFA and Aztecs beating Reno. Never mind ripping our team, THAT'S why the MW is SO f*ked up. Announce there's a MW Championship on Monday!?
For Saturday!? This game IS going to be in San Diego, I've got to believe it.

The most critical remarks will be from guys who've probably never played beyond rec league pick up games, who are living vicariously through young men with actual basketball talent. You'd be surprised. Usually the most critical have played competitive sports. false generalization...

I sometimes lurk on other team's sites. The culture of each is pretty interesting, and has little to do with how a team is currently doing. AZ, for example, is nouveau riche. Annoying. Cal was mostly pleasant with a few stinkers (talkin to you EnviroLawyerwhatever). This board seems like twitter--just a bad habit of being negative. It's lazy and sloppy and can be actually damaging, IMHO.
(I don't have any claims to sports talk, but I do know rhetoric.)
Venting during a game? Fine. To a point. Occasional rants? OK... but constant knee-jerk bitter criticism? Yeah...you have the right ... technically ... but it's OUT there for everyone to see. It does not enhance our image. And you know that players or their families or friends will sometimes come to torment themselves. It is not a good thing.
Vent when you need to, but don't do it just because the team isn't winning. Losing horribly as we just did does not equate automatic tear-down of each player.
There's my vent.

Everyone has a definition of being a fan. Some are skewed. My definition of being a fan is to ALWAYS support them as if they were your own. Would you yell @ your own son if he was playing poorly? Some would. Would you criticize your own son if he was playing poorly? Some would.
Fish doesn't do that hardly @ all, if ever! Bobby Knight does! Different strokes, different folks!
Conflict arises when expectations differ. There is a lot of conflict with so many & they don't deal with it well. Hence, ripping someone they route for.
The Aztecs owe u or I nothing! Stop feeling entitled as if the Aztecs owe you or I anything. Be thankful we get to watch a good, sometimes great team! Always support your loved ones.
If you ridicule them, well then good for you! That's not my style!!
