I know this is going to be unpopular, but I don't think it was at all a ridiculous article to write. As he said, he's been a big proponent of the football program's ascension to FBS. However, like many of us on the boards, he's losing hope. Losing hope that we can turn it around and get picked up by a P5 conference. Losing hope that Diaco is going to make us good enough, fast enough that this is going to be anything but a losing investment. Losing hope that the basketball program is going to survive the AAC.
It's not his job to be a cheerleader. It's his job to express an opinion. And his opinion is hardly out of line with what many of us have felt.
I am still holding out hope. I still love going to the games and tailgating and the whole gameday experience. And I admit I can get drunk enough to enjoy even a very bad football team.
However, I don't think it's wrong to ask the questions. But at this point, we gotta wait and see how Diaco does. But if he fails, then these are serious questions which need to be asked about the viability of pretending to think we're gonna be able to play with the big boys and whether or not it makes sense to cut our losses and join the Big East in basketball.
