Friends, sometime enemies, my fellow esteemed and raucous Cowboy fans...
Let me preface this by saying, I have been as critical as anyone. So, this goes to me more than any one on this site. I had an epiphany at 7:17 AM MST. For this, I apologize to fans and players. Sometimes we all forget the big picture.
I live in Utah. I listen to sports radio most of the day...and it is obviously Utah and BYU. This morning there was a segment of what is determined "success" for a season. Utah fans are riding high...Rose Bowl or bust.
BYU fans, well, hmmmmm, where do I start. I was listening to people call in and whine about the coach, the players, the offensive play-calling, the facilities, the schedule, the AD, the defensive schemes, the kicking game, the recruiting, their rival, on and on and on and on. I found myself rolling my eyes and getting agitated how childish the fans sounded.
Then.....I logged on to here: we sound like BYU fans. Honestly. What have we become.
Before you are quick to defend your position of "being different," go read the past three pages of Wyonation. We sound like Cougarboard. Whining, Joking. Mocking. I get it, we aren't a good football team currently...but how embarrassing.
I am guilty. I will try and temper my tantrums on here as well. I follow many of our players on Twitter. They are struggling more than we are as fans. I truly believe they (most of them) are working their butts off to be better. Through all of this, they are still recruiting their friends to come to Laramie. "Come build this program" they are saying. They aren't running from this problem, but we are.
It finally hit me that while the rest of us are ready to cut bait, some of us are ready to sink the whole freakin' ship, while others are on the shores with their head in the sand (Monkeyboy...
ha ha jk), these guys are still putting in hours to lay the groundwork for the future of OUR program. Even they see it, and aren't backing down from it.
Diatribe over. I better stop before it turns into Dinotribe.
Go Pokes! Here is to improvement vs App State!
