Blog #5

My fifth and final day of observation was Tuesday, September 23rd. After skimming some of the messages that people have posted today I could tell right away that many of the Jet’s fans have become very aggravated with the way that the season has been going so far. When they acquired Brett Farve they had big dreams and goals, but after a 1-2 start, reality has set in that it will not be an easy season and the fans have become upset. From very optimistic talk a few days ago, to condemning recent play calls and strategies by the coaches. User, ‘Johnny Morongo’ posts, “We are not ready for primetime, I am going to follow the Buffalo Bills with my brother.” This shows that he has just about given up, and also means that he is not a loyal fan. Some users actually see this optimistically and are collectively happy that they do not have to hear him anymore. Another topic comes up that when they open the new stadium next year, they feel that they should have a new coach, and not an assistant, which is what they call their current coach Eric Mangini. Overall, at this point of the season, most of the fans are fed up with the Jet’s already and are looking forward to next season.
