Message: [QUOTE="Jetskies, post: 5078692, member: 12253"] i hear you loud but wat is the alternative? just be mad until we beat a tennessee or purdue? in this new world of cfb, literally no one has it as tough as us and umass. the deck is stacked more unfairly than ever before. And they love it. I feel that we keep being held to impossible standards in conf realignment discussions. big 12 was req'ing us to average 35k or so attendance till 2031, or whatever the number was (someone please fact check me if desired), but exact figures aside, the point is - here I am staring at half-empty P4 stadiums all over fox & ESPN (except for the top 20 programs or so). college football is giving us the finger over and over and laughing. The financial and geographic disadvantages we face, dictate that we [I]should [/I]be about as good as a Merrimack or Albany. And we took Duke to the 4th quarter. I'm sorry, but I HAVE to give some modicum of credit to JM, AD David Benedict, and those folks across the athletic department. we have to celebrate good things, if nothing else for the sake of the players.
