[QUOTE="3Bees, post: 252359, member: 2988"] I agree with Johnson on all his statements including the last about commitment and the expectation of beating Clemson or teams like them. We may not want to hear the truth, we may not want the truth said in front of others, but it is still the truth. You want to talk about commitment and complaining about it. Let's start by looking at the stands and seeing the embarrassingly high number of Clemson, Miami (I think they had more at Tech than at Miami games), UGA, and FSU fans that come to our games. It is a disgrace. How many Georgia Southern fans will pack our stadium? How are we suppose to recruit players when half the stadium is filled with opposing teams fans? Then look at Tech booking a cheap flight to Ireland and the coach having to pitch a fit. We have done well in some areas (indoor facility) but we are not keeping up with the top teams. So to his point if the commitment is not there then how can you expect to beat those teams? If we were like South Carolina for all those years filling the stadium when they had mediocre football well then we could complain about our coach complaining. But we as a fan base and administration need to look in the mirror. We have a good coach. We have had good coaches (and they usually leave at some point). What we need is as much commitment to excellence in football as we give to our academics. People like to point to Stanford. Well Stanford stunk for a very long time. They clearly though decided to make the commitment. They built a new stadium as proof. If we want to win and demand 10 or more wins a year lets start by filling the stadium. [/QUOTE]
