Why did the media seem so concerned about if the U.S. won the 1995 Ryder Cup, then interest would be gone (they only lost 2 in a row...tied in 1989...last win in 1987 for Europe then), but yet we have lost 2 in a row and 4 of the last 5, and yet the media doesn't seem concerned about us losing casuing a lost of interest? What's the difference?

I didn't bother watching the singles matches last time after I knew we were too far back.

Will the intelligent person who has hijacked Leaguegolf's computer give it back, I am bored with agreeing with him already.

I read and heard that if the media was worried that if we won again, people might lose interest.

Do you only watch the Ryder Cup matches when America has a chance to win? Yes, the outcome of the matches wasn't much in doubt when the singles started in 2004 but real golf fans enjoy the competition, win or lose.
Yes. I didn't bother wasting my time watching singles. I may not watch this year's as well (probably not Friday if they decide to make the tactical mistake of putting Tiger in the opening match instead of an underdog and putting Eureope in a must win situation early instead of us)...
