That's probably why the NFL is embracing the Swifties. 1 hour ago, steveoath said: I turned 46 a couple of days ago. Still feel like a daft wee boy though. Well you are a wee bit daft, so that checks out. 1 2 Quote

I felt old in here when I understood the following M*A*S*H exchange between two other posters (I'm sorry that I can't remember who they were): A: Whatever, Winchester. B: I've always thought of myself as Trapper John. A: You wish. Welcome to the board! 1 Quote
Marvin Posted January 7 Report Posted January 7 Just as people much younger than I am envy me because I can remember the moon landing, I wish that I knew what the music scene was like before the Beatles, and I wish that I could appreciate better the sacrifices of my elders in the Civil Rights movement. 1 Quote

You make a good point how the long-term ineptitude of the hockey operation under its current owner contributed to suppressing the fan interest of the younger generation. I'm hoping that this team can get it together and make a genuine playoff run this season and maybe generate more interest from this particular demographic. Can interest be revived with this dormant young group? Yes. That's assuming that this team can becomes a relevant team again. Winning is a big cleanser for the foolishness that has been foisted on this worthy and untapped market. This fall from hockey relevancy is so inexcusable and wasn't necessary. 1 Quote

Or would you wager more frustrating because almost your entire existence as a fan is sans playoffs? Don’t mind me and my questions, I like to ask lol Hard to really say, as all I’ve really known is droughts (didn’t see the Bills make it till I was 15, then the Sabres). Knowing what success is like might make this nonsense more bearable, as I have something good to remember, or more painful as I realize how far they’ve fallen. I’d guess slightly easier, as there isn’t much expectation for success when you’re used to failure, and without that expectation, losing is less painful. 1 1 Quote
