I'd say a large majority on these boards have been die hards for 20 years or even more. I started following in 1991 and this is the first set of years where we are simply not competitive. A rocky stretch is the back end of the Odom years where we stepped down a notch and weren't quite NCAA caliber. We always felt like we were a game or so away or an above average recruit away from being back competing with the big boys. We are so far removed from that...we would be lucky to improve to that level next year.
Why would I spent 2 hours watching a hopeless team/program when I have work, kids, and a gazillion other concerns out there? If there was some hope or some satisfaction to be gained by watching this team, I'd probably find it higher up the priority chain. I have lost faith that Wellman and the AD are putting forth maximum effort to win and that attitude I cannot respect or support.
