Tough to smile when you are up at halftime and know deep down, "This lead isn't enough."

I smile knowing there are about 4-5 turds I get to bust up on the boards.

That's about it.

Anyone who is just letting "the chips fall where they may" and just have an "attitude of gratitude."

Agreed.

Support our kids, even if you don't like the coach

I can never smile as long as I know that our basketball program is no longer good.

I will never understand how someone can say they are a fan when they smile when we don't win.

But, if you care about the school and the program...you can go support the players. Unless you don't care about them either.

That is called SCHOOL SPIRIT. We have fans that engage in SCHOOL DESTRUCTION instead.

Nobody wants the program to be ruined. Nobody wants the team to lose because they want the team to lose. They figure if we just hurry up and hit the bottom we can begin to rebuild. The longer this goes on the better the chance we go into total obscurity. Let's cut our losses. The sooner the better. Before it's too late.

With the way things are going, pretty soon we'll be playing games under a circus tent. Like I said, let's cut our losses.

RE: Anyone else smile when we lose?
You know.....I tried to analyze why I feel that we still need to support the team and the players. I guess it started in High School. We never asked the record...we just went to the games because we wanted to support the school, the team and the players. Then....a lightening bolt hit me. I live in Dallas and one of the WORST teams in the NFL is the Dallas Cowboys. They were 4-12 this year and the losing trend is awful. They have made only 4 playoff appearances since 2000. I then looked at their attendance this year.....one of their worst years ever in terms of wins and losses. Guess what...the Cowboys ranked #1 in the NFL in attendance in 2015. They averaged 91,459 per game. The #2 team was the NY Giants at 79,001. The Carolina Panthers were ranked #7 in attendance and the Denver Broncos were #5. This was my subconscious telling me that despite adversity....bad teams, bad coaches, bad owners...whatever the BAD part....to some fans, teams and schools it does not matter.
