Colleges don't have football teams because of some undying loyalty to traditions and past successes. They have them to get generate revenue for the school. The onus of low attendance is not solely (or even half) on the fans. It is a result of the decisions made by the administrators. Decisions in terms of the coaching staffs for the past 8 years, and playing in the SLS. Among others. If you don't put a top experience (i.e. product) out there for fans (i.e. customers) then they wont be in attendance (i.e. purchase).
Bandwagon fans?
We rip the program to shreds every ****ing day like its our job... alumni/fans alike on here. Funny thing... it is the man's job. It's business.
So its cool when our former players rip the program on social media? You think that helps recruiting?
What's really sad is he's ripping the fans not the program. Go to the ****ing games if you don't like it.
While I agree our fans need to step it up, there's a difference between doing your job and being a ****. He's being a ****.
Don't be a ****.

As much vitriol that as spit at bandwagon and fairweather fans, they make up a large portion of attendance at any sporting event. If the administration are making the right moves that bring in fairweather fans (the lowest common denominator) then they are doing something right.
That being said, even the hardcore fans can get tired of a ****ty product. Unlike the NFL where the ****ty teams get first pick, a college team can remain consistently ****ty. I for one will not be attending as many games as I have in the past because of how crappy I feel the program is being run. I'm not in SF. I live in Atlanta. So I would prefer to add that extra money saved to my kids 529 instead of shelling out for airfare, hotel, tickets, food, etc. just to possibly watch the doors get blown off my team.
Sure he has a job to do. Did you like it when Butch or Urban would lie to Miami kids, or talk about getting killed on the Miami campus? There is a way to recruit with integrity and there is a way to do it the way Urban does. Lamar is an ***. He posted that picture on his protected Louisville account that recruits see but not a lot of Miami fans have access to. But quite a few did hear about it and he deleted it pretty fast. He knew he was crossing the line and playing the odds he wouldn't get too much flak over it. ***** him and ban his *** from the campus.

Unfortunately the UL fans saved it and ran with it.
Funny thing is that picture is from a spring game and he used UL pic when they played us. Well of course their stadium is gonna look full. First home game vs us... let's see what the stadium looks like when the had their spring game.
