I agree with nothing you say.
 
Every year a few yo yos anounce that they are giving up their season tix - and they do so in a way that suggests that it's somehow meaningful to those on this board.
 
So a guy gives up his tix this year because he is charged a $7 service fee. Such thinking has no significance at all and obviously should have no influence on how the team is run.
 
And a few get upset because a few spring practices are closed - when virtually nobody on this board attends spring practice or even considers attending.
 
When Marrone beats WVU he is a great coach, and when he loses to Rutgers he stinks. The feelings on this board vary according to the W-L record.
 
He is making an effort to win - that is why practice is closed for now. If he does win people on this board will be happy and more and more fans will fill the Dome.
 
If you don't think that's true, then you don't recall the days in the early 1980s when less than 30,000 came to watch Coach Mac's early teams or the the early 1970s when less than 15,000 regularly came to Archbold to see Ben's final two teams.
 
Ultimately, it's about winning and that is what Marrone is trying to do. If you feel that open spring practices or $7 service fees or a recruiting event are crucial to the process, I think you're wrong.
 
Events and marketing are important. I agree with that. But, I am willing to defer to the coach right now if he feels he must devote himself to pure and intense coaching this spring.
 
I think he deserves that kind of deference for now.
