Isn't it amazing?


So many people are just not real fans in my book.  I was watching last night and rooting for the 'Cats.  They weren't very good.  But everyone who is jumping off the wagon and onto Coach Jones after 3 games amazes me.  I just wish people could watch and cheer for the team.  I want them to do well also, but I'm thinking too many fans have been spoiled by a few years a success.  Please don't let this blog turn into an online bitch session.

You obviously never experienced Dave Curry

Butch Jones looks exactly like Dave Curry - unprepared for anything, save pointing fingers at his players and ducking responsibility. I wouldn’t mind the team losing 49-0 if it looked like they were even slightly prepared.

If the standard for “real fan” is that you cannot criticize the team, then I guess I’m not a “real fan”. Sitting through the 81-0 loss to Penn State, huddling in a frozen stadium with less than 1,000 people while the team stumbled through another one-win season, traveling to bowl games all over the country - none of that counts. All that counts is that you refrain from criticizing a guy who is preparing to permanently cripple the program and destroy twenty years of slow, arduous progress.

The Big East could easily be breaking up soon. UC’s only hope for maintaining a quality program is to get picked up by another BCS conference. If this is the best they can offer, there is no chance for that. If they get relegated to C-USA or worse, it will basically destroy everything that has been developed since Tim Murphy took over.

But I guess by the standard of “real fans”, we never should have fired Curry to begin with. Wouldn’t want to get “spoiled” by a coach who would actually attempt to prepare his team.

I wonder if there’s a college study that shows how exposing my generation to Three’s Company set gender relations back approximately 715 years

I’ve been with you over those years as well. On other forums there are people questioning the hiring of Butch Jones, discussing his coaching ability, and we’ve only had 3 games with him as the HC. I’m giving him much more time than he’s had thus far.
