Ie, they were anti lemo but chose to be optimists and defend the athletic department.

If we make a regional next year, the same AD that wouldn't fire Lemo after 2 years of missing Hoover will make the call. And if that AD doesn't make the move, you can believe those who want to defend the athletic department will chime in with "you can't fire a coach after he showed improvement!" And "yeah the pitching staff was still bad but you've got to give Parker time!".

I agree nobody is advocating for keeping Lemo if he makes a regional as a 3 seed. I'm saying it's very likely our AD will chicken out again, and if he does there will be people defending that decision.
C34 quite literally had a change of heart. He's a lot more fun of a poster since he's come back from the brink.

I think most everyone on the board is in agreement: Shitty season and Lemonis goes. 3 seed and 2-and-Q is gonezo. Make a super and he's for sure staying. It's that simple.

What's different is everyone's approach to that information. C34, myself, and others see a guy who's got a natty knowing he's up against a wall. There's some magic there and bucket man won't go without a whimper. It's way more fun to drink the State Koolaid and be the optimist than it is to be debbie downer for months. Even if you're right, who cares. You get momentary satisfaction in being right, whereas a dreamer gets months of satisfaction dreaming about what can be.

It's why the fun of lottery tickets isn't focusing on who will win and how astronomical it is you won't. It's spending $10 on the thought that you might and daydreaming about what you would do with it.

Anyways. Football season is almost here and we're going 15-0 until we're going 14-1. Hope springs eternal.
