Come on Waitin' on 8, the least you could have done while perusing other team's sites was quote how all the other teams are faining over the best player in the country! Not much I like more than reading other teams being envious of us or our players. :)

There is a good mixture of faining and trash talking. I would categorize the Wall talk into three categories:

1. We don't want him because he'll only be here for a year (but we're scared for one year)
2. He's the second coming of Christ... Blue Jesus
3. He's overrated and guys on our team match up

All of the message boards can pretty much be summed up by 1 of those 3 positions.

Yeah that's pretty much what I have seen as well. There are surprisingly, to me anyway, a lot of fans that like UK or are very impressed and say it without bashing us. It is nice to see some fans just taking a genuine interest in the team and Wall.

Don't get me wrong, I love it that our rivals are scared to death of us and because of that they lash out, but being respectful is good sometimes too.
