I did and I am tired of losing so many football games.
You ask.
"Say we we were given a choice. We can choose an athletics program that wins more games than anyone, but doesn't get much community support. Or, we can choose a program that doesn't win all that much, but has enthusiastic community support."
My answer.
Winning "more than anyone" is a practical impossibility and "much" and "enthusiactic" fan support is difficult to quantify and so it is really difficult to answer you.
The bottomline is I want a competitive athletic program that enjoys solid community support.
By "competitive" I mean one that regularly competes for conference championships and NCAA post season tourney wins. By "solid community support" I mean a program that consistently draws enough fans to fill our existing sports venues close to capacity.
I could go on but I'll stop there.
Geaux UL!
