No. People are mad because they are not being spoken to genuinely.
He is genuinely telling us that we are in the BE for the forseeable future, that may not be what any of us want to hear but with the information he is getting that is our reality. Now, is it crap? Yes. He is attempting to try to make lemonade out of the mountain of lemons he was delivered. And even if he did tell us everything this vocal group would still find cause to complain.
People are mad because they are not being told what exactly is happening and what is being done to rectify the problem, even though to expose that would be as dumb as Cincy sending stadium expansion cards to the ACC, it makes them look weak and needy, which they (and we) are but there is no need to announce to world what everybody is already well aware of. People like to think that just by wanting out that it some how makes it happen, wake up, NO ONE WANTS US, so to sit and whine about it is accomplishing nothing!
So I will live in this situation
not because I like it but because there is no other choice, we are not disbanding the FB team, we are not going back to D 1AA, we are not going independant (one of the dumber ideas posted) and we are not going anywhere soon. So I will cheer for my team, I will hope they destroy the competition that we have in our new conference and that someone else will recognize that we will be an asset to their conference so we can get the hell out of dodge.
