Legg and the underperforming in a watered down league is what most fans are boycotting the games over. Probably unheard of for a bowl team but there it is. Honestly if we had performed like we did last year, we might have won 2-4 games again this year, but we sure did piss away most games we did lose and that has turned a bunch of folks off.
It's weird how two games can make such a huge difference... If we don't totally suck on offense at UTSA and win that game and then win last week the team is 9-3 headed into bowl season and I think most of us would have deemed the season a success. But, it's a 'what have you done for me lately' world and college football is no exception.
Pretty much, or all the turnovers against FIU and been 10-2.............We turned the ball over to FAU, the supposed super team this year, and still lost by only a score. I am not sure if last year brought back visions of Snyder ball, and the way we lost this year kinda reinforcing those visions. I could see that from a run of the mill fan's perspective. Had we not lived through the Snyder years, things may not be seen as bad, but I do believe its giving folks flashbacks. Question is, can we improve next year...........and what if we win the bowl game and finish with 8 wins? I still don't think it will win over the fans until a change is made with Legg or whatever ails the offense this year.
I agree... The result of the bowl game won't suddenly change anyone's opinion of the season.
Winning a bowl game, making an OC change, and opening next year 2-0 before N.C. State comes to Huntington would be a good start to returning to the good graces of casual fans.
