Don't romanticize being a fan. The program doesn't care about you. They only want your money. It's a business relationship. They offer entertainment, funded by the fans. If the entertainment sucks, why keep giving it money. It would be like going to see a movie at the theater and thinking it sucks. Then turning around going back to see the same movie next week, thinking it sucks again. Then going back the next week to see it again.
Feel free to walk away then.

I'm pretty sure the bumbling mess we've been watching is in no danger of being in the top 40.

Very true. But the score is still 7-7. This is a big rebuild. It's going to be painful. We need a new OC. We know that. We need a lot more bodies on defense. We know that. We have no #1 receiver. We know that. Our Oline is suspect. We know that. We just gotta hope they can scrap and fight and pull a game or 2 out. It's going to be a long and bumpy ride. But our history of a new coach every 5 years hasn't really worked either.

When you compound a 5-year rebuild project by hiring a coach who will also be learning the ropes as head coach, 5-years seems unlikely, and the whole project is more likely to fail, in my opinion. He absolutely has to hire a stellar group of assistants, and be willing to shuffle and replace if people underperform.

I'm sorry Beamer didn't have us in the top 10 in 18 games.
This is not a knock on Beamer - it is a knock on our incompetent AD. WE have FU money to spend (including on coaching salaries) and we're either extremely cheap or extremely wasteful.

Being the rich girl you'd think we could afford some plastic surgery if we're not blessed with intrinsic beauty.

Now that was a nice looking TD! Rattler better keep it together, because it means he's staying in.

Also, why don't we get the ball to our playmakers more often. Bell and Wells are two of our best. We got them each the ball on that drive and it ended in a TD.

We need to go after that right tackle all night.

Well, it's points. A little breathing room. Hopefully our D can keep up the pressure. That was a pretty drive until it stalled out.

Our offense seems to work when we get the ball to our playmakers, which the announcers seem to be confused why we aren't getting the ball to our playmakers more.

It's an odd concept, not grasped by many.

D needs to create a turnover or something. We know they are going to run Rodriguez and can't stop him.

This is not a knock on Beamer - it is a knock on our incompetent former president. WE have FU money to spend (including on coaching salaries) and we're either extremely cheap or extremely wasteful.

FIFY. People forget that Caslen and a few members of the BOT took over the interview process for the new HC and were influenced quite heavily by some former players.

Sometimes I wish he would critique things.

Yeah, I've been begging for that. I get that he's a positive guy and is not keen on dogging guys publicly. But once in a while I'd like to hear some honest critique of the team.
