For me its if we lose to FAU. I think that would be an overreaction. I think CWT will make examples of a couple of slackers but they will not want to give the impression all is lost. Its not. We will struggle year but we should hope for steady improvements. O'leary lost every game his first year. Lets hope we don't have to experience that. That would really test the fan base. Fan Base?! We got 22k to a home opener with a new coach...with $8 tickets and 10k of that was students who were there to get drunk primarily. Fan base!? Fan Base!? Don't talk to me about fan base!? lol It was nuked into oblivion last year. A new coach doesn't guarantee a change right away as evidenced by Saturday's performance. Many people don't want to waste their money and precious Saturday evenings on a horrible product. Life is too short! A coach does not guarantee a change right away, but lets be real, it was McNeese state, and it wasn't just a "loss" it was a blowout and a new record low for USF. To just chalk last week up as a loss, as many are doing, diminishes the significance of the loss. This made ugly look pretty. We don't know the significance of the loss yet. Right now, it was just one game ... If it doesn't get much better than that, we'll know it was a harbringer of things to come. If things go as we hope they do, it becomes a fluke and forgotten about ... except to those that like to wallow in that kind of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To react to that loss, if it happens, worse than a blowout from a team we were a 3 td favorite would be the epitome of cluelessness. To be sure, we'd have some of the usual suspects grandly overreacting but I just don't see a huge board meltdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
