    Caution Optimistic View Point

    Well as we approach the regular season in a few weeks I am getting excited and optimistic. I think the O will be top 10 and the D will struggle but won’t be as bad as I feared. I think we will be I the hunt for the playoffs, and at the very least not eliminated by week 10 or 12.

    Am I frustrated that we have had 8-9 years of mediocrity. Yes. Absolutely!
    I am not going to let the past color my fun in the future though.

    I always enter the season with hope. What’s the point not to. It is entertainment. That’s all. What’s the point of ruining things by being depressed and defeated before the snap of the first game? Heck I remember when Iowa shocked the college football world in 81, and won the Big Ten! Heck they were supposed add another year of losing to 20 straight losing seasons according to football experts prior to the season.

    Yeah I am exited about the upcoming season. Tomorrow night I will enjoy the preseason and look for good things, and not get worked up about some mistakes.

    Yes call me a fan. Call me an unrealistic fan, call me a homer, call me an oblivious fan, and call me a fool.

    Or just call me a fan having fun.
    That’s not really so bad.

    we will be rusty at first but I like our coaches. They will have the team more competitive than our first year of rebuild.

                    Did BuffTP imply sports should be viewed as a form of entertainment to be enjoyed? Waht a novel idea.

                      Radical concept, in some circles.

                      Bids-That was a great season in 81. I remember the first game at Kinnick that year beat Nebraska 10-7 to open the season. There was joy in "mudville".

                        There is no place for optimism on a Bills fan message board.
