It would've been nice to see 10,000 show up today, but it is a field in rural Iowa, it is raining, it is college football opening day, and a lotta folks are scared we might end up with another McLame next year.
Stay around here long enough and sooner/later you'll get your ass flamed for somethin', merited or not.
It'll pass .. look at it as psychic callouses for next year
