I'm not exactly sure what the huge fuss is about. It is very easy to focus on the few negatives around this program compared to the many positives, that's just human nature. It is however very hard to talk about this year's team while ignoring the elephant in the room that we could very easily finish 3-8 or 4-7. We just lost our top notch DC, and our offense has struggled to put points on the board these past four seasons. There's reason for concern. You can't just ignore these things when you're trying to build a fanbase, and see the program ascend to bigger, better things.

Athletics is a huge source of publicity for the school. It is in the interest of us all that the athletic teams win as many games as possible. Pointing this out doesn't mean we aren't fans of the athletic programs. We're passionate about the direction the program is heading because we care. If I didn't give a hoot about how this program was doing, I wouldn't watch games, wouldn't donate, and I certainly wouldn't be talking about the program on a forum like this one. It's when nobody is saying anything about your program that you have to sound the alarm bells.  There's nothing wrong with expecting more from your coaches and programs.
