RE: Tiger football getting some pre season respect
Fuente stated in his first press conference that Tiger football could not be fixed quickly but that it WILL be fixed gradually, step by step. The process is right on schedule.

No rumor. He actually tweeted that he will not be returning his senior year, then tweeted like an hour later saying that people took his words out of context.

I do too, but I remember when we once fired a coach who had three of those in a row (in 11-game seasons and against SEC-heavy schedules), because so many dumb-assed people stopped coming to games. "Too boring" the Monday morning "experts" said. Negativity is an irrational cancer.

Those were good years but what stands out the most is the day they came out to play East Carolina for a chance at the Liberty Bowl and I've never seen a team as low keyed or flat as that one was. It even spread to the crowd. I don't remember if that was Stobart's last game but it should have been it if it wasn't.
