I get it.  I've been a fan for 40 years and where the program is right now stinks.  I used to look forward to each game and watch every second of each, win or lose.  The last few years, the joy of anticipation has turned into a fear/depression and I've found myself turning off some games well before the end.  Worst of all, my kids are missing out on making the awesome memories that I take for granted.  They've never known SU as a perpetual NCAAT participant (never mind threat to win every year).  That being said, the "burn it all down now" mentality, where people think our players stink, our coaches stink and we aren't even going to qualify for the ACCT is just totally over the top.  We've heard similar whining at the start of every year the last few years and, despite it all, we were able to creep back onto the bubble.  Now maybe this is the year that doesn't happen, and JJ's injury is going to make things a lot more difficult, but we have some really impressive young talent and there is definitely a chance for improvement (just like last year).  It might be too little too late, but with the class we have coming in next year, the doom and gloom is just a little over the top. To be clear, I'm not ok even with just being on the bubble, but I think it's just too early to be throwing in the towel on this year or the Red era.  That time will come soon enough if things don't improve drastically by next year, but I'm willing to suffer just a bit longer to see where things go.  Hopefully up.
