I think the hyping is by design; When a team is tanking they have to appease the fan so they win, hype it up then get right back to losing. Pretty obvious we are seeing some media involved in this process. I doubt we will see much effort from this group this season because they are needing another draft pick in a bad way. If the oilers didn't operate this way and feed the fans hyped up drivel + kool-aid they would likely be losing fans. Rest assured they have this part figured out, they have losing down to a science.
