Being a long-suffering Cubs/Bears/Illini fan, I don't understand how some people fan. If I approached it the way some people do, I'd have had to change my allegiances years ago...Until he makes a freshman mistake , then the Illini faithful that think they know better will eat him alive.
Sorry if this is a little harsh but after some of the comments I have seen about last nights loss I am a bit soured on some arm chair coaches
Is it disappointing when your team doesn't play well? Yes. Does it mean they aren't doing their best? Usually, no. I'm rooting for the guys. I hope they do great. I also realize, especially in the college ranks, that some of these guys aren't super emotionally, mentally, or physically mature and will make bad plays and react poorly sometimes. I find no joy in tearing them down.
Part of the fun of college athletics is to see the growth of players and teams over the course of the season/career. I love the potential of the 3 guys in this class. Morez is as close to a sure thing as you can get to being an excellent B1G player. Jason and Jace have great potential. I can't wait to see what they each have in store for us.
It SHOULD BE FUN.
