How can you say that? There are people here on this site, including myself, that have followed the Zips for many years. For me, this is "my team!" Do I like the losing? Heck no, but the only time there should be sadness(or anger if you prefer) should be when we loose the Wagon Wheel.
No disrespect, but that is defeatist talk. Dropping one level means that you gave up altogether. You need to give it time.
