[quoteWell, you, and many others on here whine about how bad we are, and how bad Gene is, then don't go.
I learned a long time ago, and I am 26, probably younger than you, that if something makes me as unhappy as it apparently makes you (and Tornado, Monty, Curt, Wesley, BrianHos, 22, well the list goes on from what I can tell), then avoid it.
Why do something that makes you miserable? I cannot think of one logical reason to do that.
If you are people that thrive on being unhappy, then keep it to yourselves, because I am sure that for every one of you there are ten people that are going to the game to actually root for the Cyclones.:no:

Trust me some of us have been going and rooting way long than you have been going to the game. If you except losing then that says a lot about you. The fact is that a lot of us have had it with losing. Chizik is supposed to be the the man. Well the man just got beat by a first year coach by the worst team in the big 12 every year so we can't really say it's only year 2 when year one guy just kicked our butts. Also they have a young QB also so we can't really say that now can we. So if you like losing then keep telling yourself how we can win this week when we show no signs of winning against Nebraska. If we win then great. If we lose we will be losing to another first year coach who's team is actually showing some life.[/QUOTE]
You are another one of these guys.
It has nothing to do with accepting losing, at all. It has to do with understanding (and I had to move away from Iowa to get it) that Gene was left a four year rebuilding project due to Mac's failure to sustain a program.
I went through this nonsense with Monty yesterday, and I don't want to rehash it with you. But the fact is that we don't have enough Big 12 caliber players on this team, and many of the ones that we do have are ones that have only been here for a year.
The lines are in poor shape, a problem for many years, and you expect it to be better in less than two years? Wow.
The coaching has struggled this year, and it needs to improve. There is no question about that. I am not making excuses for Gene, they have screwed up countless times this season, and last year too. But you know, Mac didn't lose his job because the program was in too good of shape.
I loved Mac as much as anybody, but if you don't see that he still has bearing on the performance of this program, TODAY, then it is pointless to argue with you. That will diminish as Gene recruits more and more players, but when you can only bring in 25 at a time, it doesn't turn around overnight.
