First, let me say that I think Fitz was the right call.  I hope if he 
wants GB to be around this year to help him out as a sort of football 
consultant, and this can happen and that we as fans will bury the hatchet. 
It's time to move on past the hurt feelings of Barnett's leaving and Coach 
Walker's example in this regard is one to be emulated.

I was just saying this myself yesterday - the team needs support right 
now, and it's going to be rough.

This team and staff faces unbelievable challenges right now, and they 
deserve to have the loyalty and forbearance of their fans.  I personally 
will be giving grumbling a rest this season and focussing on cheering my 
heart out for this team, win or lose.  I hope the rest of the "Wildcat 
Nation", as Fitz called us at the press conference, will give him our best 
support.
