Please list them. I'd like to have some, but can't come up with any.

This year there will be 39 bowl games vs. the 35 in 2013-14. That means 78 teams will play post-season. All June needs to do is win 6 games.

No kiddin'. Wouldn't want to keep a coach that takes us to bowl games.... we've had so many coaches since Bobby Collins that have done that.

Wouldn't doubt it. Both are extremely touchy when challenged

This issue has little to do with the posters, but rather, the product on the field. The product on the field is not very good because the recruiting fails to pump sufficient talent into the team to have quality and depth. This is the direct responsibility of the HC whose staff does not recruit effectively. There would be very little sunshine necessary or negativity if posters could see the football staff making positive and consistent efforts to identify and recruit kids. Negativity is natural when you see a staff that appears lazy, uncommitted, unorganized with very low expectations and a product that reflects these efforts.
