Sadly, the lack of attendance is a big factor in why this is the low point of the Shaw era.

I fully believe the team can get to five wins, and maybe that is enough to hold on to the recruiting class and hope for ‘22.

But it is going to take something mighty to reverse the apathy.

The only thing I’d say to moderate this critique is that we are in a COVID recovery year, and the usual cultivation of students, fans, band members, etc just hasn’t been normal… for a while. But plans need to be made to rebuild across all of those groups, and nothing helps more than winning.  We are at risk of becoming tolerant of a new low, and what recruit wants to come to a school with a half-empty student section, a band that needs a PA to be heard, and upper deck sections with only one person sitting in them… this year I’ll grant a mulligan.  Next year must improve.
