Cannot agree with this.  Below is a "neighsayer" post:

Do you think this post adds any value to the board whatsoever?

Agreed.

I respect your thoughts here but I disagree.  Rather than being a disappointing season, I thought it was a great season with a disappointing ending.

What I don't understand from some of the "neighsayers", as you call them, is the anger that is so evident in their posts - as if the team and/or coaching staff did something to them personally.  Jurrie's post above is a classic example.

I watch SU hoops for two reasons:

1.  I've been a huge fan since I was 10.
2.  It is something that my son and I do together.

I was extremely disappointed when we lost out on the MSG - primarily because my son asked me every day for a month whether I thought SU would still be going to the Garden for the Regionals because THAT would mean that the two of us would be going to our third Regionals in a row and he really enjoys going and I really enjoy taking him.

And, of course, I was extremely disappointed when we lost to Dayton because it meant the end of another season.  And it also meant no second consecutive trip to the Final Four for my son and I.

But I wasn't angry and I didn't feel the need to start venting my anger at players and coaches - as I see posters do on this board.

That is the part that baffles me and is also the behavior for which I have zero tolerance.
