Been a fan of the team since forever, been a fan of the school exclusively since about 05 or 06...can't think of a ****tier time period than this. I would imagine the 95-97 seasons were awful, and I know Shannon's tenure was ****ty, but right now there really is no hope or reason to be excited. Thoughts?
It's pretty bad. As a real old timer who was at the U in the late '60's and early '70's, I saw some really bad football, but back then nothing much was expected out of the program. We NEVER had winning seasons and we never even thought about bowl games. Butch kept the program together during the probation years except for one season. I don't think he lost more than 3 or 4 games despite having severe scholarship restrictions the rest of the time. I never lived close enough during the glory years to attend any games. When I retired and moved back to Florida, we started sucking again. I don't need to watch Golden's garbage. Had hoped to see some games, but I already saw enough awful football out of this school when I was a student.
I'm totally POed with the state of this program now. Am not even going to attend my 50th reunion in a few years. If this is what the university wants, then #### them. It's just a miserable situation.
Crap maybe you are bad luck! Just kidding, fellow old timer. I remember those days when the only reason to go was to watch one player, a Ted, or Foreman, OJ, Mira(senior) Rubin Carter. Then Howard showed up and suddenly we had teams. This year I watched to see Duke. Next year it will be Kaaya.
I feel the same way about today that you do. Would not even think of going to reunion unless we could use Donna for target practice. I've painfully funded a trust with full tuition for all my grandkids to go to THE U. Couple weeks ago I changed the terms to deny them all benefits if they do go to THE U. I would rather burn my own school down than give the smucks who run it one more cent.
