Hey lets argue

Have we become a society that just loves to argue?  What happened to the ability to just have a discussion without getting personal?  Without becoming angry?  Is this what we are teaching our children?

For weeks I have been sitting in Jones AT&T stadium watching Texas Tech....Every week there is some idiot in the crowd that does 1 of 2 things....

1. They boo a kid who caused a little controversy a few years ago every time he catches a pass....This is a 21 year old kid that is HELPING our team win and we boo him?  I am curious as to how many people were booing him after he made some crucial catches during last nights HUGE victory????  Have we forgetten what sportsmanship is?

2.  Every game the coaches at Tech (and around the country) make a decision that the crowd doesn't agree with....it is during these times that I sit a listen for the idiot fan who says something along the line of "Leach wouldn't have done that"....Let it go Raiders...He is gone....I wonder if the guy behind me from the K-state game was cussing Coach Tubberville last night the same way he was during the K-state game....

See my problem with these people are two fold...

1.  It doesn't teach your children anything positive...Leach is gone and is not coming back... I understand that hurts some people but it is what it is...There is no reason to teach your children that it is ok to not respect the coaches authority...It teaches them that it is ok to hold on to grudges...It doesn't teach them that sometimes a process takes time....and this leads me to point number 2

2.  Before you speak, learn what you are speaking about....For all you Tubberville haters out there, Leach never beat OU at home....Understand that this is a young team...Understand that it takes time to build something...there are few people in life that have the ability to just win....It doesn't work that way...you start off learning how to count and that leads to you being able to do advanced math problems...

The future is bright for the Red Raiders....We are young, we are getting fast, we play hard, we make mistakes...we learn from them...we line up every Saturday and play...and we are reaping the benifits of a great coaching staff...I understand your passion, I really do...but come one guys, lets get behind this team and look forward to what is happening...your kids will learn from this.
