The losing is bad, but for me the most disturbing thing is the lack of fan support. I live a bit away from the Bay area and try to make as many games as I can, usually 4 or 5 with my season tickets. We have many fans right within an hour's drive who won't show up, even if they have tickets. The student section was embarrassingly empty, and my section as usual had plenty of empty seats.
I know people have choices on how to spend their time, but come on. This is our school (for students and alumni) and we only get 6 or 7 chances a year to see them at home. I couldn't stop thinking what top recruit would want to play in front of that game day atmosphere, what conference would ever want to have us added to their offerings, and why did I ever even think we should spend millions to build an on campus stadium when obviously the football program matters so little to most of the area population, even to those who are Bulls.
I hope that most people renew their season tickets for next year. I expect and trust that we will be better on the field. Regardless, this USF alumnus will be there for whatever games I can, and for the others, there in spirit as I watch or listen via whatever outlet I can find.
Go Bulls!
