Certainly not as much as everybody is right now. But two games into the season is a ludicrous standard for throwing in the towel.
I see all these complaints from people about "they just gave up", wipe you people are openly announcing your surrender.
I am completely flabbergasted by the obvious irony going so unnoticed.
When Herm was here, I had extremely low expectations, and was deemed the worst pessimist on the site. But it was not pessimism. It was fair.
Now, I see what this team did in 2010, and even last year, as the injuries and coaching changes shook the very foundation of this team, and I have some confidence in our ability to rebound and overcome a rough start.
And THAT is not optimism. It is fair. I have seen what this team CAN do, so it is far from unreasonable to expect to start seeing some of that.
