The whole thing with "some fans will never be happy" is nothing new here. Yes, some seem to complain throughout the game threads no matter what is going on and always focus on the negatives. They're complainers. Nothing new in life, and I know for a fact that it's been going on here and it's probably been a part of most sports message boards since the beginning of sports message boards.
There are others though who get lumped into this group, who are simply tired of watching a team that's won 3 playoff games since 1970 and none in 2 decades, and
clearly doesn't get it. Yeah, we're jaded, which means apathetic... we're past being angry and miserable. We don't have the energy for that any longer. We aren't "bashing everything"... we're stating the same concerns we've stated for at least 2 decades about a team that's clearly ignored the most important position in sports for 4 decades (excluding Joe Montana). And to our surprise, not only does the franchise still not get it, some fans who have been watching all along still don't get it either.
So yeah, it kind of sucks to aspire to cautious optimism... I forget which 49er convert I was talking with yesterday, but my view point on Kansas basketball (and other teams) is 180 degrees the other way, and I'd love to one day get that back, because those 2-3 weeks in January are pretty damn entertaining, and I think we've waited long enough to be part of that again.
