Pete knows it takes time for a program to get that swagger. He also knows that his team has a tendency to get down on itself when things don't go well. That's why he doesn't go nuts on the sidelines when we have bad calls, etc. We have to keep up with the Krzyzewski's and the Doherty's. We received a lot of positive attention with the tent people and the raucous crowds at some of the games this year.
Recruits love to see themselves playing in front of highly enthusiastic crowds.
I don't care how pretty the ESA is, half the seats being empty and the crowd restless isn't going to impress recruits. We must build on this years progress in fan enthusiasm. Lead the cheers. Negative and ugly posts when the team has had a bad game does nothing to help. If you need to blow off steam, you don't have to do it in a recorded medium that the players, coaches, recruits, their classmates, friends, and parents can see.
