Message: [QUOTE="007, post: 1446110, member: 393"] It seems to me that every fan should express their fandom as they see fit - or, to use your term, to find the "balance" that feels right to them. Personally, I would very much prefer to see opinions supported by some type of data or coherent analysis. But, that's just my "balance." The question is, why take others to task because they don't share your "hopeless optimism about the future," or your version of how fandom should be expressed? I agree that you are mostly objective about the past. But, for me anyway, being hopelessly optimistic about the future (as it pertains to SU football, not a life view) does not make you a better (or worse) fan. It makes you...you. [/QUOTE]
