Re: "Daugherty warning"

[Bryan Sherman]

And after reading that dreck, cleanse the palette with Lonnie
Wheeler's article "No point preaching to fans."

My favorite part:

"The unremitting UC supporter might say to his straying counterpart
that true fans stick with the program. The other might reply that a
true program sticks with its fans.

Who are we, at any rate, to insist that loyalty is owed to a name, or
to a uniform, or to a tradition? What, after all, is that name or that
uniform or that tradition if not what it stands for? How do you
beseech somebody to invest in that which he or she, in good
conscience, can't?"

It almost makes me want to subscribe to The Post...
