It's funny to listen to attendance smack from fans of a school that plays to more empty seats than filled ones, and which hasn't out 71,000 people anywhere since... Well, ever?
Or to listen to smack about the records of the conference teams we are beating, when they aren't beating any.
Or about the legitimacy of our appearances in the conference title game, when they have never appeared in one.
Or about how the SEC teams all live off the glory of Alabama, when the big leftover conference has exactly one team with a history of being a consistent football power over the past 10 or 20 years
No, our football team isn't the best this year. But they have scrapped their way to winning 7 of their last 8 conference games. Some schools would kill to have a string like that right now. Hell, some schools tore down the goalposts this year when they beat one of the (other) worst programs in D1 football.
No one is saying this is a great team, but they battle and have done more than anybody thought they could this year. For that they have basically everyone's respect, everyone who hasn't been on basketball time for months anyway.
