[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1436582, member: 7292"] I agree, and I also find it interesting that some posters complaining about a predominant "criticism/negativity" also criticize lack of devotion and bandwagoners. If nothing else, if the majority of posters who still care enough to post and are devoted to the program are critical or negative that would mean that the majority of posters with positive thoughts do not care enough to post anymore, are not devoted, or they are bandwagoners. And to make something clear, while I consider myself a die-hard Illini fan, I believe that the vast majority of dedicated remaining fans, independent of critical or positive nature of their posts, are unfortunately die-hards. I say unfortunately, because the program's success does not depend only on die-hards (which is a small market getting smaller) but on the more casual fans, the bandwagon fans, and creating "new" fans. Those are the ones who affect program visibility, PR, recruiting, financials, donations, merchandise sales, etc., etc. Without them, the rest of us will keep on watching more games on BTN+. The more the merrier. [/QUOTE]
