Its like the frog in the pot of water, he'll jump out of hot water but boil alive as the water slowly heats. Yes its just one murder and subsequent beating, and the English recording was an isolated incident. Attendance is not great anywhere in the MAC, you beat Western a couple years in a row, hey pretty good crowd for the opener I even saw a couple people tailgating.

In totality though you are the worst program in college football. You have little fan support, no success to point to or any prospects for success. The University doesn't need the albatross of an embarrassing football program especially one with high profile violence when they are dealing with a perception of being an unsafe campus. EMU has the equivalency of an empty residence hall on campus they are so under capacity. Student retention and low graduation rates are a problem. With the cost of college escalating its almost immoral to ask students to subsidize this program that they don't care about for the benefit of nobody in particular. How can you justify funding football at the highest level when less than 1000 people show up for a game?

As much as it pains me to say it I agree with almost everything said in this post.
