The fan base is frustrated by not going to a bowl since 2007, and that bowl being the worst one a Big Ten team can automatically qualify for.

I assume Irish Boy's dislike of Hope comes from what he said about Zook running up the score. That's understandable but it is true that Zook was running up the score.

Other events as well, like walking the player over to Rich Rodriguez. Also, his general reputation for being an asshole.

At some point this "winning at all costs" stuff has to go by the boards.

This isn't a Tuberville situation though. It's not even a Joe Tiller situation. Winning doesn't have to be everything, bit it should be something. Hope hasn't had any success whatsoever so far, 2011 isn't looking good, and recruiting has been pretty awful.

The Problem with Purdue not getting wins in recent years, is that nobody goes to the games anymore either, of course Purdue doesn't help that by scheduling real opponents. I think the first 2 are Middle Tennessee State and Southeast Missouri State.

This is college football, not the NFL. You should get credit for representing the school well (no major NCAA violations), graduating your players, AND then winning. You guys sound like Charlie Sheen with all this "winning" talk. I'm sorry, but as good as the recent history of Wisconsin, Io_a, and MSU have been... they are not THE Ohio State University or University of Michigan. And frankly, they probably never will be. Can you be content with supporting them in this context?


I expect my team to be competitive year in and year out. I would not accept 3 down years from Ferentz or any other coach. I think he's a great coach but if I saw 4-8, 5-7, 5-7 in a three year stretch - he better be walking out after that third year.
