1) What does realistic expectations mean to you? Going to a bowl game before I die is my expectation.
2)No doubt we are sorely underfunded. Who do you blame for that? The fans? No I don't think so. The admin for not being serious about football? BINGO!
3) Not trying to attack others just defending my position. You and others make a valid point. Those of us that think that after 8 years there should be no more excuses also have a valid point. I try to never forget we are fans and all want the same things. If you think I tried to attack you I apologize.
4) I do think some of you guys expect mediocrity. Eight freaking years dude! Programs have gone from scratch to 1-A in that period of time. You can also earn a Phd in that time span. Eight years is a loooong time. Is Bustle to blame for football? He is the coach so ultimately yes! BTW He was well aware of how much money he was going to make. A mistake some of you make is that you believe paying more will get you better results. If Bustle can't do the job for what we pay him then lets find a younger hungrier guy that is excited about making that kind of money for coaching football. Ultimately none of this matters because I believe Martin Hall is not serious about football.
