AP (28) / Coaches (29) Polls for Nov 24

The media is starting to fall in love with Fran. If we can win out and get another great option at qb next year (and a fg kicker and learn to tackle) we could have that preseason hype needed to always be around the rankings

You can't suck for 25 years and expect consistent fan attendance. We've lost a generation of potential fans. I'm 35 and often one of the youngest people at a Cuse tailgate.

They came back in 2019. They came back in 2022. I was expecting a bump with a new Dome, new HC, new QB, and a good start to the season. Really surprised by the poor turn outs this year.

Memphis...their best win is, wait for it... North texas? One of the only teams on their schedule with a winning record this season. Explain this to me.

Even Missouri, crushed by ranked teams and best wins BC and Vanderbilt

Fans are NEVER the problem.

Full stop.

Well, no, fans are not a 'problem'. We have been mainly mediocre to god awful for decades. And we haved choked hard and often in pivotal spots. Over and over and over. I know exactly why casuals have stayed away.

But we have seen big crowds turn out in recent years for big games. They are not now that the team is 8-3 and playing a top 10 team. If playing to 35k in this type of game is the best we can do, all the Fran Brown mojo won't save anything. Kids want to play in big environments. If we cannot provide that, for a even game like this, well, I guess everyone can do the math on the long term outlook.
