Well it it only took 4 games for Bagman to show up. End of second quarter maybe beginning of the third. I get the frustration but kinda silly especially with the players sitting right in front of us.

DW is more useless than anyone associated with USF... he should have been fired first and let his replacement decide. That guy is far more of a problem than SKip ever was! I agree. I believe that although Holtz was an issue, there are deeper problems with the department starting with top management . So I am only 50% satisfied by this decision.

You chose a perfect season to boycott, that is unless we keep Skippy in 2013 and finish with a perfect 0 and 12 which I will go on record as my prediction. Oddly enough I was ready to purchase my first set of season tickets in the lower bowl sideline. Then I found out about Skip's extension. Kinda pi##ed me off. I understand. The fair side of me tried to rationalize all the close losses last season since I have seen it happen that those same type of games can go another way the next year. The extension was a head scratcher. The close losses continued and I have seen enough. My issue with the extension is/was that it indicated to me that something was very wrong at a level deeper than coaching. I don't know how collegiate athletic departments should be run but Skip's extension triggered a bit of PTSD associated with Jim Leavitt's last extension. It was my opinion that it had been time for Jim to go well before he got his instead of further embedding him in the organization. In any event the honeymoon is over, they have to actually do the job now and they are well aware that we are not happy. So I'll give them a chance at a level of risk that I find acceptable. I think that is more than fair.

After boycotting this season, I have been conflicted about what to do next season. While I feel I should support the program I also realize that not spending my hard earned money on tickets and donations may be the only way to get the Administration's attention. I am going to do this on a game by game basis. If the program shows they are serious about turning things around I will give them my money. If not, I won't. This way it gives them the opportunity to earn my support and I don't feel like I am being taken for granted.

It may be beyond the abilities of an institution this seemingly dysfunctional to fix itself. Nevertheless something needs to be done. So what can we (fans) do to help affect change? I would like to believe we are not powerless or without influence in this situation.
