Any organization or business worth its salt should be glad that customers, fans, and supporters have the nerve/courage/anger, etc to tell them they are dissatisfied.Yep, it was a frustration post and I’m kinda embarrassed about it today. It’s not really my style to engage in pointless tantrums. It just really hit me yesterday how long we’ve all been waiting to see some basic competence from this program. Still waiting.
I've had and still do, friends who are in the restaurant business and other types of businesses. To a man, they would rather have a customer complain to them about a subpar item than just pay the bill and walk out the door, never to return again.
To some of us, bitching about something comes naturally. I'm one of those guys. I don't just go around bitching about the service or product, the owners know I'm not gonna bullshit them and they take it in the proper perspective.
A fan base that finally checks out from years of supporting a shitty program will find other ways to spend their time during the fall. We have a ton of old fans, like me, who will slowly fade away, one way or another. Will there be another flight of people who will show loyalty for 50 years of supporting this school?
The under-40 crowd says hell no, they might go 1-2 times a year for a social day at the stadium, but, make it a big part of their life? No way.
For 40 years it was "routine" for NU fans to start making travel arrangements for what would be the annual bowl game. That thought has been so far removed from our thinking, it's almost as if it never even happened.
