how many of you have altered your plans to go to games the rest of the season(especially as it relates to road games)?
I know I have, I was thinking about going to BC and a home game at the Rock, but after the UVa debacle, Im like 'nah'.
Yeah, I know, I know Im a terrible, disloyal fan. But I just cant' watch this in-person, especially after going to Dallas for the LSU whipping
I do wonder how home attendance will be for our remaining games. Ive been told by more than a few fans they are done with this season and they wouldn't be traveling to any more games. So Im far from the only one. But you hear all the time that college football/athletics is a business, right? Well, whats taking place right now can't be good for the UM bottom line(in terms of the athletic department). You'd think - or hope - that if there is a significant decline that the higher ups would notice
As for the banners, to me, Im not huge on them either way( although I do find them amusing, I cant lie) but sometimes those are just written off as messages from the lunatic fringe(again, that's how it's perceived by some, not necessarily what I think) and I wonder how effective they really are. But a steep decline in the bottom line - yeah, to me that absolutely gets peoples attention.
Right now, the offensive product is well...offensive. It's boring, bland and unwatchable. Forget being unproductive, its just hard to watch. Our defense I can watch all day, love how they do things and the passion they have. But if this unit ever gets so frustrated by how little help the recieve on the other side of the ball and pack it in - look out, things could get REAL ugly. Im being dead serious, I don't see a for-sure win the rest of the schedule with the way the offense is performing
So yeah, I'll be watching intently, as I said before Im a glutton. But in terms of spending resources, time and money to travel thousands of miles, not till that offense is fixed. I can't be the only one who feels that way
