When apathy sets in it takes forever to root out. Clearly, apathy has set in when it comes to Purdue football. The administration does not care that Darrell Hazell is 5-26 after 31 games. The coaching staff has not given any indication that there is a problem aside from the standard boilerplate of "We have some things we need to work on and we need to execute better." The players played very hard on Saturday, but unfortunately, that can only do so much when it is clear that they are not being put in a position to succeed.
As a result, the fans don't care.
