We're fans, but I'm pretty sure none of us here knows more about what it takes to turn this team around. We may think we do, we may proffer our opinions, but you know what they say about opinions ... "everybody's got one"

I do like reading everyone's posts. I don't agree with all of them, but I still like reading them. The more passionate ones help me get through some of the Colts shittiest performances, and in a season like this one, they're more enjoyable than the shit show game I just suffered through. So keep it up, it's therapeutic for me.

Yeah the danger is when fans start becoming apathetic. I’m just now starting to follow the Pacers again after years of not caring. I was a die hard fan, but once I felt the team was content being mediocre as long as they were ok enough to have seats filled, I quit. I can deal with losing and rebuilding. Honestly sometimes those are the most exciting times - if you think something is being built. But if the team doesn’t seem to care, why should I? I’m in that danger zone with the Colts. I would have not renewed my season tickets if I had the option now. I still get frustrated, but it’s becoming more a resignation now than anything else.
