Overreactions

[The 12th Man]

I'm hoping someone is keeping track of the overreactions on this board to each false rumor. I haven't written them all down, but if someone collates them all, I think we should vote on the best one.

It's coming down to the 11th hour and Chryst and Kill are the hot names, I think fans have a reason to be upset. Maturi set the vision for this process and the prospect of Chryst or Kill ending up the coach does not match the vision.

That's why this is fun. It would be worse if no one even cared enough to overreact.

+1
Either Chryst or Kill may be fine coaches, but the fans have every right to be very upset if they end up getting the job. (Which isn't to say we should take it out on the coaches, but they're among the least exciting of a very large number of potential candidates we were looking at coming in to the process.)

I agree with you, and it will be interesting to see how many candidates turned us down to cause the U to go with a less desirable hire if that is the way it shakes out.

I agree. I just think it is funny that people who profess themselves to be the biggest Gopher fans are threatening to drop their tickets. I think it is both sad and funny when people take themselves too seriously.

I don't think the overreaction is that great in this case as the AD charted the course. I do not blame season ticket holders for dropping their tickets if they feel mislead.
