Hoop Fan - You make some extremely valid points. You start making some good points on here and you will come under attack, be called a troll, be accused of being a bitter former employee, and that you don't really understand how restricted Orsini is, and if you did you'd realize how he is such a genius. Understand however that these guys can get really defensive when they receive constructive criticism.
Just post about how [deleted] brilliant Orsini is and what an amazing coach June Jones is and how it really doesn't matter if we have 12,000 people in the stands with a 5-1 record because when we get a 10-1 record and we're in a better conference and the Rangers don't make the playoffs .... blah - blah --blah.
This is a fans's forum, so for the most part, their expectations for attendance and relevance for the Mustangs are extremely low. Most of the posts keep reminding us how much better off we are than we have been for the past 25 years, so we should just be happy with what we have. Exactly what Steve O. loves - low expectations.
It is okay because their heart is in the right place. But in order for SMU to truly be better is for us to NOT settle for pathetic crowds and an indifferent athletic administration.
But don't look for reason on this board. Here's a poorly kept secret -- most of the most prominent posters on here are directly connected to SMU Athletics Department, so you're never really going to see much in terms of real dialogue on how to make things better. Just more propaganda about patience and just win and all of a sudden there will be 32,000 fans at Ford and Orsini is the greatest and SMU's goal is to be Top 25 In Everything We Do.
