If we we are truly as cash strapped as some allege then it may be time to re-evaluate everything.  If this University is not committed to competing at the highest level of football then it may be time to drop back to FCS.  It kills me to see programs with less have more and yes an OCS is a big part of that.  Yes, I know IPF first.  And before some say how much do I contribute?  I spend over a thousand dollars for club access tickets not because I want to see the Bulls play, hell I can probably get free tickets for just about any game, I do it as a donation.  If the appetite for major college football is not there amongst the University, the students, the alumni and the local community then stop pretending and drop back to FCS.  Put about 20k seats at Corbett and call it a day.  At least then, we’ll have a shot at a national championship.

 

 

 

South Alabama has been in existence since 2009. They averaged 16K at home games this year, and that includes an unusually high 25K vs. in state rival Troy. They already have an OCS planned for 2020. I don't get how they can and we can't. We easily out-did them in attendance in 2018...and didn't we used to average around 40K at one time? Where is USA getting the money for this? Some in here will tell you that we're waiting to do it the right way, but will our situation be different 10 years from now without a P5 invite? The casual fan will never have a ton of interest in seeing us against Tulsa, Tulane, etc...Maybe after we win the AAC 10 consecutive times with eight different coaches, we can gain that local support and move forward on the OCS. Our athletics motto should be, "We Can't"

The inexperience of some of our fan base to the ways of college football fandom is glaring. The naivete is downright embarrassing at times ...

Actually what’s more embarrassing is the arrogance and condescending attitude you have towards a wide swath of our fan base.

AAC programs are seeing the writing on the wall. They have to pay-up, step-up to get quality coaches and then retain them beyond a successful season or two only to start again. Facilities? AAC schools are building and modifying. It would appear that many schools are trying to get past the stigma of being a G5( real or imagined). Cincy, great fun bowl game to watch. UCF, how can you not pull for them to win? Houston, getting their wallet out for a HC. The trend is apparent. Even Tulane is strutting and trying to enhance their image and ability. Temple. Then there's UConn--hmm? a bball school kinda like Rutgers in the B10. Just thoughts based upon observation. 

**** UCF. I hope LSU ***** them sideways and hangs 100 on them.

Actually, I don't think it's that wide of a swath. I think most of our fan base understands that UCF winning is not good for us and would never pull for them.

Because when they win we lose?

But then, when we win we win. Logic dictates that we cant hope they lose just so we can win. What's that make us?

Solution: we create a consistent winning program we don't need to worry about ucf except once a year.

A rival.

I feel "win" anytime they take the loss.

It makes us smart. The only instance where it would benefit us for them to win would be if it somehow was a deciding factor in us becoming division champions but as we play them at the end of the season that is not a very likely idea. Everything is relative in life so you perceive and are perceived to be successful relative to how you stack up against those around you. That means we look better and feel better the more we win relative to those we are stacked against which means more wins makes us feel and look better as well as more losses for those we are being compared to also makes us feel and look better. What makes us look and feel the best? Going undefeated while they go defeated and we should always cheer for both at the same time and even if we only get one of them it's still better than the inverse. It would be like if your friend had a way better job than you there would be two ways to make your job better the first would be the conventional way of going out and getting a better job but the other less conventional but equally effective solution to improving your perception of your job relative to your friends is to get them fired from their job now making your bad job better than their no job,
