Yeah we had a sheet and spray paint with us waiting for him to get hurt so we could make a sign and carry it around SDS. The banner had nothing to do with the injury, and wasn't "paraded" around after he went down. The only reason it even got made was because he threatened to kick my ass the week before after we were heckling him for blowing the Minnesota game. Im willing to bet prior to his injury that Sunday, you were chanting 'We want Jake" as the banner was making its way around SDS, unless of course you're related to Kent.
Again, my contention is that the cheering that occurred when he got hurt, wasnt people cheering an injury to Kent Graham, but rather what they saw as an oppertunity for Jake Plummer, the golden boy, to get on the field. Of course the idea of "classless fans" and a "shameful crowd", makes a good story, so that is what the paper and local talk radio ran with the for the next week, and in turn is what most people remember about that whole thing.
Stop and think back how excited you were when the Cards drafted Jake, and how bad you couldnt wait for him get on the field and do what he did at ASU in Cardinals red. Then remember the excitement after we beat the Cowboys in week 2, and then let down of losing the next 3, and being on the way to losing number 4 in a row during that Giants game, and the terrible QB play from Graham, and honestly tell me you were not excited that Graham going down was Jake's chance. No one was excited that someone was injured, they were excited about a chance for Jake. That's why people were cheering, not because they were classless.
