the big difference is that back then, we felt we had an owner and GM willing to do whatever to win. Granted, Peterson made some bad decisions, but he did bring in Montana, Allen, McGlocton type guys in an attempt to win, and dammit, win we did. So, there was always hope back then that next year we'd get the few missing pieces. Now, that hope isn't there because it doesn't seem as thought the owner is committed to winning, and the GM is an egomaniac. that adds up to no hope.
