It definitely does. When the big money boosters lose bragging rights on the golf course, it's trouble. If we're sucking, they hear less **** on the golf course. If we go to a bowl game though, any bowl game, and you go 3-9 or 4-8, then it might be enough.
I still think that your season last year had something to do with Orgeron losing his job. Granted, the 23,000 for the NW St. game didn't help, nor did the in fighting of the team, or the collapse in the Egg Bowl, but I think your success at least played a role in his quick firing.
