How can you call the fan support a problem?

You gotta look at the facts:

- For the last 15 years the program has been decimated by poor coaching hires (Not saying Dino is in this category)
- The program operates in a lowly populated region of the country
- The program operates in an economically depressed area of the country
- For much of that time we competed in a dying league and saw 8-win seasons as HUGE successes

The worst part is during that time the athletic department did very little to try to make the program slightly attractive to the average fan.

You can't blame the fans, we've hit a valley and have had an awful time trying to dig ourselves out of it.  It was enormously frustrating to see this team be down by 21 before I finished my first brew (and I definitely bitched about it in the game thread), but eventually, you have to ask yourself "why would the average person stick around?"  The game took 4 hours, we weren't scoring at will, and Louisville looked like they'd never relinquish their lead.  I don't think it's anywhere close to unreasonable that people aren't sticking around.
