OK fine, I’ll confess. Real talk.
I didn’t believe.
Don’t get me wrong, I always had hope, but never really, truthfully, whole-heartedly believed. Well, until Saturday, that is. Allow me to explain.
First, one thing I do still believe is that players, coaches, administrators - they shouldn’t be asking “where are the fans.” I understand the last 13 years aren’t their fault. Hell, the administration hasn’t given a damn about football since it opted out of the facilities arms race back in the 1970s.
Maybe I just felt jilted or ignored. After all, I HAVE been there.
