How about you make an argument like "wow, that Illinois game might be a great one, or I think we can hang in there with Indiana." Are you really happy with the state of things? Are you really that apathetic that you will mindlessly watch crappy football. I said I would love a great season but I admit I would hate another mediocre season that just keeps the charade going. Life isn't convenient. The reality is, crashing out last year would have been far better for the program than going 6-3, giving a stupid extension, then watching our qb go down and finishing the year as one of the worst teams in the sport. I just don't understand the hypocrisy...people are pissed at the extension, that our coach is terrible, that is he scamming the U for 13 million a year but they want 5 wins and more years with him instead of ripping the band aid off. If he can win 7 or 8, I'm all for it. It will absolutely not happen. Most sports are ok with tanking to get better...there is no harm in it as long as we move on to better things. Paying so much to be 12th out of 18 in the big 10 is a nightmare for the program.
