Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 2938611, member: 966"] I don't understand posters who don't understand how things work. This game was symbolic of more than one game. "The State of the Program" becomes an issue more when we lose, because—then the warts face the hard light of day. When we win, even if it's despite warts, it's like that filter they used to film Elizabeth Taylor. Some people like to believe [I]that's[/I] the truth. But, look at the league records, please. Maybe [I]you're[/I] happy with that. I really hope the staff isn't 'just forgetting about' humiliations, losses, negatives, trends. You should be able to [I]learn[/I] from these types of experiences, not just in the micro sense, but toward the macro. Yeah, Virginia is "really, really good." But, they're not that good. The point, for many of us, is that it ought to be us that is "really, really good," and we've been trending for an appreciable, not-small-sample-size, period of time into really, really mediocre.
