If you read this board frequently, there is an elitist attitude by Bull Fans. "CCS should recruit higher....we should never lose more than 2 games...we should never lose to certain schhols."

Attendance is dreadful and painful to see on tv. Will be hard to get into a big boy conference with this kind of fan turnout. 

There is rarely any news about the program. If you go to a blue chip site, there is plenty of talk about recruiting, current players and personnel. 

So yes, the lack thereof any meaningful news makes it pedestrian.

 

Why would I read this board frequently if no one posts anything?

It's always #2 on my list of things to talk about.

So you're telling me there are people with a strong, almost...*fanatical* opinion of their team on a fan forum?

From 2001-2003 (pre "big boy" days in big east) we averaged 27,545 at home. From 2015-2017 in the AAC (post big boy conf) we averaged 31,839 at home. (Feel free to check my math from here   https://gousfbulls.com/news/2011/6/1/1425766.aspx?path=football

So we've got more people coming to games now than when we got the call up before; which means there's no factual reason to knock attendance and blame it for lack of a better conference.  You've either read too many Times articles harping about attendance (cough Joey and Fennelly cough) or you're looking for an excuse to be down on the team.

And don't try to blame the lack of championships during our big east days for our current conference situation.  Cincy won big, had an undefeated regular season and they're in the same boat.

No, I meant what I said. A class of 25 TWO stars would rate higher than a class of 10 FOUR  stars. Rankings are partially based off of total recruits, not just quality.

Nobody in all hell would want a class of 25 two stars.  That would literally be a shatty recruiting class and the entire staff should be replaced for incompetence.  In recruiting terms it's a stupid question because I'd rather have 10 3 stars than 25 2 stars.  I'm not sure you understand the ratings...

So you are saying the average attendance last year was 31k? Actual or what the school made up?

You're not demanding enough excellence or demanding it hard enough.  I'm really foggy on how that whole things works 

Uh, It is  because you are barely demanding excellence too hard. Its upsetting. You are creating a environment of toxic greatness.

I'm starting to realize the longer I stay on this board there seems to be the same  cycle of arguments and discussions which can be summed up in a sentence.

The bestest fan should be a new OCS which deserves a national championship, Publix.
