too hard on ourselves as CBers.

There are lots of "I told you so" posts on CB. "Nobody said this", or "everybody said that". Then you go through the CB threads and there is a small minority who said something.

And the opposite is true here. The Zags board is being amazingly classy right now. But there are posts referencing mission age, refs taking the game away, plenty (maybe most) of the posts that give no credit to BYU and think Gonzaga lacked intensity. When it's your team, that's a great take. Again, I think they are being a very classy group right now. They are also 29-2 and have whined like the nursery class that meets during nap time in your local building at other times. This fanboy post of the Zags board is a little too idealized.

CB is a great group. Some posters say dumb stuff most of the time. All of us say dumb stuff some of the time at least. I think it's silly to characterize CB the way many on here do. I think you need to step away from the computer or post a poll if you think "almost everyone" on CB is being unreasonable. The poll will be different than you think. Then go back through the posts you were looking at and notice you are keying in on a few posts that upset you.
