I don't have beef either, just getting really bored of off season banter and really looking forward to the season getting started, even if we are projected to only finish above the Cellar Charlotte.

Which led to me simply pointing out that our attendance numbers are very similar, which led to multiple ODU fans "clapping back" about any number of things like how it's"too bad 17k is all we can muster after 110 years" or how the sell out crowds are better than our half empty stadium etc.
Your program still has that new car smell and tickets have always been a commodity, we're in completely different scenarios.
I won't deny that being an established program has it's advantages, but you seem to be downplaying the advantages of being a young program, with a small stadium, that's never lost more than seven games in a season.
You haven't had to endure 17 wins over 4 seasons like we did at the end of the McCollum era, you haven't even had to settle into a long stretch of mediocrity like we have now.
Say in 10 years you're still bouncing back and forth between 5 and 8 wins, with no division championships and disappointing bowl appearances, how much excitement will there be around the program then?
We all have our advantages and disadvantages, but if any of us really had it figured out for any sustained period we wouldn't be in CUSA long.
