        Hey Ray-
                The fact is we are all rooting for the C's, but even if
they win every other game this year, they will still be in contention for
the #1 pick.  How can you not be excited about the draft.  Are you excited
about their record?  If not, then we can be excited about improving our
team with the draft.  If you think we want the men in green to lose every
night then you are sadly mistaken.
