Then tell me was year you expect UConn football to be respectful. They are lucky to have half the stadium filled for most of their games. Put a decent product on the field and then we can have a further discussion. Winning half your games is the goal for success? Against teams that are so below the talent level of teams in the Big 12? Let’s play Michigan again. That went well.
Winning half of your games is a start. Then you go from there. UConn has already put the wheels in motion to turn its FB program around by finding and hiring a “quality” head coach in Jim Mora.
You sound like a very angry and disgruntled fan. You have a right to be. UConn’s FB program was an embarrassment for years. There is nowhere for them to go but up.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step (which has already been taken). You are correct. Everybody likes a winner. Build it and they will come.
Only the most die-hard and loyal fans will go to the stadium every week and watch their team get embarrassed. I couldn’t. My enthusiasm and commitment would match that of the administration.
Some schools want to win more than others. You know which schools I’m referring to. Do what you have to do (short of cheating), and put a winner on the field. You’ve got a coach and staff that can make it happen, now pull in the recruits that can make it happen. In any field of athletic competition, you’ve got to have the horses to win!! Now go get them.
When you join the BIG 12, you can’t worry about schools possibly jumping ship. You can only control the things you can. Don’t be concerned about someone else’s house. Clean and get your house in order first.
