[QUOTE="Dkayak, post: 1949060, member: 749263"] My dad was a dedicated Cubs fan his entire adult life and went to his grave never having seen them play in the World Series. I deeply appreciate “my university” but feel no such allegiance to a long term failed football program. However, if they can play with reasonable competence, win or lose, I’ll support them with more season tickets. Might need to sit out 2024 though, watching and waiting for flickers of fundamental competence. Penalties and turnovers are a big turnoff, as are things like that botched kickoff return. Was that a turnover or just a foolish giveaway? It felt like watching three players collide in the outfield as a fly ball goes uncaught. Why not just signal a fair catch and catch the freakin’ ball? [B]How tough is that to figure out?[/B] High school teams do it all the time. Sorry, but I just can’t watch or support that level of incompetence. [/QUOTE]
