I remember distinctly walking through a snowstorm listening to a portable radio to that heart-ripping loss to Indie the year we should have won it all - jan 7, 1996 - I could not watch it - the stress would have killed me.......

I dont even pay attention to it. Sometimes its people who want to validate themselves or their post count somehow, but mostly just a joking initiation type thing. No big deal. Not about being a fan as much as a member of the planet.
