the-one-mike and Rod, I am going to assume you aren't employees of URI MBB or the Athletic Dept. You have very little to no impact on the team's goals. You are a fan. The only minimal indirect impact you have is attending games as a fan and any money you donate to the program. Dan Hurley and Thorr don't give a shit what you DEMAND of the team. So your comment above that saying we waited 18 years is the exact reason it took 18 years is the biggest piece of bullshit I have read on this thread and that is saying a lot. Maybe you were typing this during work and thought yiu were the boss. The fact that Rod gave you a +1000 is not a good sign.the_one_mike wrote:
If you aren't moving the target, then what are you doing? It's called setting goals and achieving them. That's how progression works. I'm not sure I understand the concept of being a fan of a team but not demanding excellence.
To say something like, "we waited 18 years," is the exact reason it took 18 years to return. More like, 18 years of "fans" being complacent with mediocrity allowed their team to become a doormat. If you want to make it in intervals less than 18 years... you have to DEMAND growth.
If you can't recognize that to achieve more you must consistently demand more, I'm not sure what to say. Just because you aren't a blind optimist that doesn't make you a pessimist,
Fans celebrate when their team does well and hurt when their team loses or plays poorly. Many vent about their team when they are upset. Not many people vent about their team when they experience the joy we have experienced the last month. You are in the significant minority.
