Chairman of the Board
Marshall
Here's what I'm the most pissed about:
My 13 year old son and I watched our team suffer the worst loss in over 110 years, lose its 10th in a row against FBS competition...meanwhile his friends are sending him pictures from College Gameday and tailgates with Trae Young. We were so bored we took naps in the 3q.
I had to go through that sh!t as a kid--and granted kids face much bigger challenges than that--but it was so cool that when he was younger he was proud to wear his orange but now it's become embarrassing again.
He doesn't even know that GIA can be a fun, loud arena; and he finds college baseball boring because they mostly just strikeout. Bragging about wrestling and golf doesn't really do it for a young teen.
All of this because the athletic department tolerates mediocrity and still functions under the good ol boy system like it's 1975.
