I don't think that means anyone would trade the Ws for Ls.

No one is apologizing. Folks are having discussions on a message board about game strategy and coaching moves.

Ok, "crying" was hyperbole.

Much like when you use phrases like "objective discussion".

Most folks here actually try to have unbiased discussion and not just be a happy clapper from game to game, no matter the result.

Some are incapable because they have blinders on and are stuck at the corner of gray and blue streets and that's fine.

While some others are too busy trying to paint posters as either good or bad fans, which I find especially weird when done almost immediately after a win. Seems they'd be more happy with the W than concerned about smack, but it takes all kinds.

As a great coach once said, it is what it is.

I would disagree. It's fine to be critical but there are at least a couple of posters that no matter how the team does under Tubby they will find a short coming. It doesn't matter who we beat and how we beat them; excuses usually come flying around as to why that team lost to us. Whereas if we lose, these few posters come out with pitchforks. There might be a few posters who have blinders on but they are far and few. Just as you seem to notice these posters, most of us remaining posters tend to notice the loudmouths that pounce on any negativity they can find with the coaching staff.

Fair enough

Fair enough

The happy clappers and the true miserable are equally as obnoxious.
