This is where you lose people, DR. It is not necessary to denigrate the atmosphere at the Joel during the period when it was actually really good in order to support your argument.
It is also unnecessary to keep saying things like we have been terrible for 70 years, etc. etc. Our program has been up and down. We have had extended periods where 85% or 90% of the programs in the country would have gladly changed places with us. We have won ACC titles, we have been on the national stage. Not often enough and not consistently enough, as we all know, but still. We have not made final fours (though we have had a couple of teams that were capable) and obviously never won a title - we all know that and would love to...
Granted, we all know we have been awful for a while now - but that doesn't mean we have always been terrible and it doesn't help your cause to keep saying it.
