Let’s put aside the frustrating loss today. When I got into the Pete today 15 minutes before tip I was floored to see a hand empty are arena.
This is a borderline top 25 team. Yeah I know they lost a day but in reality, Louisville is a good team and it’s not gonna do much to drop them off. The fact of the matter the huge stretches of the pete today were empty speaks a lot with Pitt fans are.
This isn’t anything new either. The end of the Dixon era, we saw the exact same issues. Those were also still not bad teams, yet people stop showing up, and I saw all the excuses on here of how it wasn’t good enough.
Fast-forward to now and we are seeing the exact same thing. Excuse after excuse after excuse as to why the fan base shouldn’t support what is a pretty good product. Is it really the case that the only type of program you will except is a top 10 program. Will you not support it otherwise. Are you so spoiled by the success of the Steelers and the penguins that you have lost all perspective on what it should be.
Especially now in this age of pay to play, it’s more important than ever for people to show up and for there to be broad support from the fan base. I know not everyone can afford to be a whale. It is easy for me to say that because I am one of those people that can’t afford it. That said I do what I can I go to games and I support the team the team we played today not not only are they well coached they have both of money to throw around to players that frankly we don’t have
So what is it? You guys all seem to want Duke level results on a Duquesne level budget. We are consistently losing out on top transfer targets because we simply get out bid. I don’t want to rehash the adou situation, but it was frankly embarrassing and if he’s here we aren’t having this conversation today.
Not really going to lie, I’m really sick
Of It all. I’m tired of the pay to play, but I’m also very much over this group of fans that expects so much for peanuts. I tire I watching our “big” donors, who are frankly small fries compared to other schools play games to get they’re connections bigger deals elsewhere and think we can be big time on football when we have no shit .
I’ll say it again, if I were capel id get out of dodge. I think he’d excel at a school with a full commitment. The reason he’s kept rosters together is because of the culture he’s built…I guarantee jaland could have made more money somewhere else, but he wanted to be here, just like bub’ choice was nba or here.
I just have a real hard time seeing a good path forward
