The negative things are fine to say in the privacy of your own home, preferably in a closet with no one near the door. There is no reason to state the obvious and no reason to assume the worst.
Together we can. That is all you need to say.
Together we can raise more money for the Dawgs. Together we can bring more fans to the games. Together we can actually help the team win.
I feel guilty for not feigning illness and missing work to attend the game while people who live less than half the distance I do are expressing pleasure in not having attended.
Because a person remains positive doesn't make his view of the situation unrealistic. Realistically, negative fans hurt a team and positive fans help a team.
It will be interesting to read what people have to say who attended the game. We haven't heard from many of those so far, just people who listened to the radio.
