You are correct. It does take the fun out of watching to see them struggle against teams they should beat. I hope it doesn't get to the point where I have to stop watching. It hurt me to turn off the LA Tech bowl game.
You and @Empirical Cane are awesome,but there's no way Manny goes 3-8 and manages to keep his job. We might be able to tolerate mediocrity for a short time, but abysmal failure ain't happening.
