Well said Rollem; your expressions reflect mine, and I suspect that Zipp’s reply to your post is accurate as well, as it contributes to the reduction in financial support from a lot of UL fans.
While I go back to the Frank Camp era in football, and the Peck Hickman era in BB; I became close friends with Bob Weber (God rest his soul), great person and was a great football coach who was deprived of the resources necessary to elevate UL further. I credit Bob for my introduction into financial investment of UL football.
I gave up my season tickets, along with my football & basketball Suites almost 10 years ago, for reasons that had nothing to do with my allegiance to UL. I was ready to return as a contributor at the bequest of TJ, until he left rather abruptly.
The subsequent introduction of NIL & Portal pushed me away even further, but hiring Brohm and Pat Kelsey is attracting me back in. I suppose that makes me a “fair-weather fan”.
