Understand IU football for what it is and enjoy whatever the ride turns out to be. Or, you could just stay away - life is too short to be so miserable. In the rest of my life I don't accept failure or even mediocrity. But I do have a keen sense for reality. For instance, I would love to be able to dunk a basketball but I know it will never happen. I don't complain about it to anyone that will listen.
Making IU Football a powerhouse is like turning an elephant in a phone booth. If it can be done, it is going to be difficult and take some time. Unless someone can convince Urban Meyer, Nick Saban or Les Miles to test their ability by turning around a lower tier program, this is a long-term proposition.
There are positive IU Football fans out there but they are not very vocal for obvious reasons. I'm not saying we all need rose colored glasses because that isn't seeing the reality. We need to show potential recruits that there is a base of fans here that will support them when they decide to come here and be a part of the program building process. The negatives are obvious and everyone can see them - no reason to continually point them out.
Go Hoosiers! Next up Western Kentucky and a chance to be 3-0.
