[QUOTE="IlliniOllie, post: 1333915, member: 6150"] Let's make a list of college football programs that have been as bad as Illinois for as long as Illinois, and still draw massive crowds and sell out their stadium: *crickets* If anything, I'd say that the fact that we *do* draw as many fans as we do, after years of being repeatedly kicked in the rocks by athletic department incompetence and foolishness, is a testament to the loyalty of Illini fans by itself. And even after all that, the potential is clearly still there - we were close to a full house against UNC last year - but the program ultimately has to draw the fans with a winner to fill the stadium week in and week out.
