Paul:

You missed my point.  I didn't suggest that anyone should be excited.  My point
was that there weren't even ANY posts.  It is kinda like a certain
disappointment settled on the list.  Kind of like "damn, I can't really be too
critical since they won. I will wait til they lose at Minnesota so that I can
call for Pitino to be fired and just not post today."

It seems like we at least would have heard, "it's a small step in the right
direction."

Or, "ugly, but at least we won."

I expected to at least see something positive.  Not joy.
