Just look at the Wild.....they've more or less sucked for years with the most boring product in the league, and they've only recently had any form of fan backlash.
Thats a fair point, and I never said the timing might not work for them, in fact a couple of posts back I conceded the Jets should work with good management and proper planning. It just seems to me, especially from reading threads on the subject in this forum, that many "soon to be" Jets fans are expecting to see a clone of the current Phoenix Coyotes team playing in Winnipeg next season, and I personally don't agree with that premise.
