    I don't understand why you are so angry? I mean really, I aint madatcha bro. I'll have my Tiger gear on tomorrow, game will be on the big screen and I'll still hope for a big win. Listen closely, I want our team to win and win BIG. BECAUSE THEY SHOULD!!!. It is what the great teams do to lesser opponents. If we make this clown who is the qb for vandy (I dont know his name and he plays for vandy) look like Joe Montana like we did with nugget from NC then maybe you'll see my point. Maybe?:grin:

    If you see a post from me "Sure. I buy that", as anger, then you have a serious disconnect. That was a very matter of fact statement. Not one of anger.

    You claim our team looked like a pick up team from a sandlot. I regard that as delusional, emotional, and miserable. Call it whatever you like, I will still be here laughing.

    Only have the expectation of being entertained, you'll never be disappointed. Realizing that the final score is not an indicator of whether or not what you witnessed defines what entertainment is.

    The only
    comes from the miles believers. I've already seen the light. Keep betting on that guy and you'll find yourself sleeping under a bridge. I'm moving on man. Maybe after this all happens again and again and yet again you will see it.

    Well, enjoy being a Sooner fan, then. I ain't bailing out until the plane starts to crash.

    I generally stay out of the infighting on here, but I find your comments interesting. I've seen the same flow on our board, especially in 2006-2007.

    Those who have joined the disbelievers can't understand how believers can be so naive to not want a coaching change tomorrow (if not later today). They firmly believe there are only two camps, Miles believers and non-believers.

    There is a built-in disconnect with this type of logic. Just because a fan doesn't want Miles fired tomorrow, doesn't necessarily make them a blind follower of the believers. My guess is most "believers" have many of the same concerns. They just believe (1) there is not enough proof that the program has reached that urgent moment, or (2) they believe all programs cycle up and down and although there are concerns, the tools are there for a better tomorrow. If there is to be a coaching change one day, they would hope it would be done by the body of evidence, not the jerk of the knee.

    Given there are no birth rights to getting to the Championship game every year... or even making a BCS bowl game... I'd say expectations are outwaying blessings for some.

    My two cents...

    Two national championships can do that to a person.

    I don't "want" miles to be fired, I want him to get his feces in sequence. Jerk a knot in the ass of those who need it and get this team right. It is sort of like owning a vette and driving it like it is a damn edsel.

    " comes from the miles believers. I've already seen the light. Keep betting on that guy and you'll find yourself sleeping under a bridge. I'm moving on man. Maybe after this all happens again and again and yet again you will see it."

    Then I misread your post... sorry for that!!
