usf snubbed by devil rays

[smazza]

during throw back uniform night i saw were they wore university of tampa uniforms

ouch!!!!!!

[Brad]

Are you sure they weren't Tampa Tarpons?  Why would they wear college?  Better look more closely before you call it a snub...

[Bobcat99]

They were wearing the uniforms Lou wore when he played for U.Tampa in the early 1960s.

It was not a snub. It was nostalgic.

[Brad]

Thanks for the clarification Bobcat.  Certainly not a snub - and certainly another reach by the Rays.

It doesn't matter what uniform the Rays wear - they still suck.

How can you have respect or root for a team that doesn't care about winning? It defies logic and common sense.

[smazza]

ok

[Zonald]

ok

yea

I gotta admit, it is hard.  But I rooted for the Bucs since their inception and I liken Namoli to Culverhouse.  As soon as someone comes along and spends money, the Rays will turn it around just like the Bucs.  Hopefully it won't take them as long.

I don't know about respect but I root because they're my home team. Are you implying we should be fairweather fans?

And I root for the team ..... I'm pretty sure they care about winning.

exactly, the team cares about winning.  and if there is any punk on the team that doesn't and is only here to get ABs, cough cough alex sanchez, they should be gone.

The ownership is what could care less.  The rays could be the worst run franchise in sports right now.  They do this family fun coupon that gives away a hotdog, soda, and crackerjacks every sunday.  and the past three sunday's I've gone they've run out of hot dogs!  Today they also ran out of cracker jacks!  And were running out of ice and the ice machine was broken!  IT'S FREAKING RIDICULOUS!  And, as most everyone knows, there is plenty of other stories of poor fan relations out there.  It just seems to get worse and worse every year.
