I took the survey yesterday when we got an email asking for season ticket holders to do it. I suggested getting rid of the chair backs in the champions section as well as making beer/wine available to those of legal age in the stadium. The other stuff I would like, the ad can't control - game day and times. I'd settle for those two things right now.

Personally, I do not like drinking beer when I've paid good money to watch a game. Its harder to focus on the action. You remember less of the game afterward. Peden will smell like a bar after a season of that.

No school is entitled to success. All schools have to work at it, but I'll grant that it's a lot easier if you are located in a recruiting hotbed, or at least an urban or semi-urban area, or near some attractive destination, like beaches, mountains, etc.

You missed the point. The message is I don't care about a score board or hot chocolate or seat backs. None of things will make me feel better about losing a home game we should have won. And I think we should expect to win every home game. There isn't anybody coming to play us in Athens that we shouldn't beat.

That is pretty arrogant when Ohio is one of the most remote schools in the MAC. The school isn't entitled to success.

When you read the context--the caliber of the comp that we play at home--the statement is not arrogant. There are very few home games that we should not win.

Desirable urban area. Akron doesn't qualify as that. Or if its a situation like BYU when they were in the WAC where they got recruits as the epicenter of a 5-6 million mormon nation out West. All the advantages OHIO has college town, facilities, academics over the MAC are enough to expect a good MAC football team and that is about it. If it was a situation where we had a 60,000 seat stadium and a 60 million dollar budget playing in the MAC then I could understand the attitude that we should go undefeated in the MAC every year. Solich in 10 years in Athens has 2 seasons of 4 wins, 2 seasons of 6-6 and 6 seasons with winning records. His achievement level qualifies as a success. 2011 should have been a MAC title, he came very close. Consistently in the hunt for a MAC title is about where we should be.

Agree--in the hunt for a MAC title is where we should be. But our been-here-10 staff hasn't done that for the last 31 games, the last three seasons.

UNACCEPTABLE.

With the proviso, of course that 'in the hunt' should produce at least one MACC in 10 seasons.

UNACCEPTABLE.

Warning: prepare for a slew of 'at least we're no longer the worst program ever' posts.
