Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4724822, member: 71"] I am fully aware. I've also run into a large number of people over the years who (at a point in the time) found college basketball boring. The reasons (excuses) many make about college football being boring normally begin as a comparison to the NFL and are very similar to the arguments I've heard about college basketball vs the NBA. I've taken quite a few who found college basketball boring to games over the decades (just as I have for football). Some come around and try to appreciate the game, others spend their time at the game far too closed minded to ever get it. This happens in both sports and for the life of me I don't understand why anyone wouldn't be willing to see if it is worth the effort (this goes for both sports). You are obviously allowed to beat your drum, believing the football program can never be developed and the fan base can never be grown to compete with some of the better programs in the country. I am allowed to believe we can be the exception to what most see as the limitations of northeast football. It can be done and the path to get there, while difficult, is far more possible than most realize. This upcoming season may still be a bit early in the process (the Jim Mora era) to make any noticeable noise but I have very high expectations for year four under Mora and I would not be surprised if in year three we start getting votes in the polls.
