I have absolutely no issue with the fans or what was tweeted. Someone asked Kurt Warner the same thing, and I loved his response (not verbatim): when we start winning they'll start rooting for us, string together a couple wins and they're back on the bandwagon. Kurt knows how it is. That's really the bottom line.
People act like we have a crappy fan base, but you know what, in this economic environment, we're 1-4 going into the game, some fans figure you know what I got 4 kids and a wife to feed, why don't I just sell these nosebleeds and make some of my money back. There's nothing wrong with that, don't care what any of you say. I'm a diehard from way back, before they even moved here, but even I understand it. Especially given the economic situation nowdays. If we're winning (or even looking halfway competent) maybe the dude with 4 kids and a wife goes to that game, justifying it by saying it's a good time had by all, we got a new QB, new D, and they're tearing it up, this'll be a fun afternoon. But if you're gonna spend all day (driving, setting up, shuffling the herd of family in, watching a 3-hour game, going home, getting the kids ready for bed, blah blah blah), if you're gonna spend all day watching crap, you may take whatever $$ a Pitt fan will pay to go to the game.
That's just the way it is.
