Your prejudice against "sunshiners" (another name for "optimistic fans") is nothing if not consistent. Like many in my experience who go off to law school only to have their hope surgically removed by the socratic method, you play the part well.

To answer your question above, you are consistently wrong when you post gloom and doom. You WILL be proven wrong when Bennett turns this thing around.

Okay, first, your reference to Socrates was amusing. Second, my disdain for sunshiners is limited to those over-the-top folks (including anyone who found a "silver lining" last Saturday) who fail to acknowledge the current state of the program, not those who are generally fans of SMU sports. Third, I have an opinion about said current state of the program and you have a different one--I don't think it appropriate to classify statements of opinion as right or wrong, but if anything, the current product suggests that my opinion is "righter" than yours. Fourth, I would not characterize my opinion as one of "gloom and doom" but rather one of realistic assessment. Last, I hereby formally accept your offer of peace, you may feel free to buy me a beer at you earliest convenience.
