[Max Cow Disease]

I admit, I was tempted to reach for the panic button a few times this past several days, but this goes to show why it's a guarded switch that requires keyed access and the input of a discrete code that's changed once every four days.

It sucks to drop three games in a row to bitter rivals, but this wasn't entirely unforeseen with a new coach in the fold. My trust that things will improve ultimately begins with my trust in Treliving as a GM. I mentioned it in one of the threads before Gulutzan was hired, but there's no one in the organization who's more nervous about the decision to hire a new coach than the GM, and Treliving is obviously a guy who does his homework and doesn't make whimsical hires strictly on the basis of a gut feeling, nepotism, or single stat lines. A lot is riding on this hire, so it's simply way too early for me to come close to believing that Treliving just went out and hired an absolute dud of a head coach out of sheer miscalculation or incompetence.

A bit of patience, and I think things will start to look up before long.
