Message: [QUOTE="Fishy, post: 2553189, member: 38"] You have to go a long, long way to find a fan base that has taken the body blows that this one has. If the casual fan has dropped off, they’ve got good reason. The first round of realignment in 2003. The second round in 2011. The third round. The fourth round. The implosion of the Big East. The chaos with the retroactive application of the APR penalty. Calhoun retires. Being slapped into a georgraphically-ludicrous conference with schools that no one cares about. Instead of Big Monday, we know have games at 11 am on Sundays. And now not only do we play bad teams that we have nothing in common with, we lose and lose badly to those teams. Our coach is disengaged and inept and now we have the NCAA snooping around. If you think you’re a casual fan and you’re still paying attention, you’re a hardcore fan. The casual fans have already been swept away by the avalanche of crap that’s come down on us. We can get them back, but it’s gonna take a while. [/QUOTE]
