[Husker] losing seasons vs. attendance question

<If NU would have a losing season for five consecutive seasons do you
believe Memorial Stadium would continue to sell out? --Bob Beach>

Bob, only if the corporate-sponsor purchasers would continue to buy the
tickets !

<I personally do not. I hope we never get to find out.>

Ditto...However, I don't think we will again, in our lifetimes,
experience the din and noise we started hearing in Solich's last year,
again. Or the compulsion to find a coach who believes in PASSING as a
road to greatness.

Now that fans have seen firsthand how truly BAD things can get when you
throw away all tradition, roots, respect for past coaches, etc. and run
headfirst into such TOTAL CHANGE as we did with SP/BC, I don't think this
University will allow it to happen again.

Let's hope not.

It's embarrassing, when NU has to experience such a humbling by the likes
of teams who have beat up on us the past several years. Hopefully the
"what have you done for me LATELY" attitude will be replaced by patience
for the next coaching staff.
