The Hammer
All-Star
First just let me say I've been a fan since the very first game in 85 on Halloween. I was 9 and went trick or treating but I went to a game shortly thereafter. Look I know it's bad now. This thread is not about comparing if it's worse now than it was then. But I do want to put this out there. Right now, when things are very, very bad, in many ways, and looking to get worse, now is when you really earn your stripes as a fan. It's about the good times and the bad times. This is just how it is. Many of the fans on this board have been with the Kings since either day one in Sac or even earlier. When we we good a few years ago, it was so rewarding because they had been with the team for so long. I'm just trying to show that there is a very positive aspect to the apparent horror happening now. When we get through this, you will be able to look back and know in your heart that you rooted for these guys when it was like this. That you cared, even when things were bad. We are going to be very proud of our team when things turn around, whenever that may be. So don't miss this opportunity to earn your stripes!
