I don't blame our fans when it comes to football. Our team has given us ample reason to doubt them.
It's the crowd that does the same thing with the basketball program that is telling. That program has been pretty good under Painter. Not perfect. Not without a bad slide for a couple of seasons. But we have seen Big Ten titles and NCAA tournaments. Sweet sixteens and players who you could feel about cheering for.
Yet all a certain group of people want to do is bitch. I learned long ago that those people don't really know what they are talking about. They are pretty much professional bitchers. So when the same people that had been calling for Painter to be fired for years were over here citing improved performance as a reason that Hazell had to go in the middle of the season, I just kind of laughed, rolled my eyes, and mocked them a little.
