Look at the poll question. Out of the over 7,000 people we’ve had visit this site, 8 people bothered to vote on how they wanted the game to go on Saturday. Four of those voted that they didn’t care anymore. You wonder why half the seats are empty? There you go. It is better to have an angry fan base than one that no longer cares. Once a school no longer cares, it is destined to be a bottom dweller.Look at your power conferences. In the SEC, Kentucky doesn’t care about winning football games. And they don’t. Vanderbilt doesn’t care either. And they don’t. Indiana in the Big 10 doesn’t care either. Look at their records. In the ACC you have Duke and North Carolina. Not exactly football powers. Once apathy sets in, you are finished.. Apathy typically sets in when years of losing pile up and nothing gets done about it. Or your school starts kicking butt in basketball.
If we want to have a winning football program, we need to get mad. Or be happy with the status quo. Whatever. But to not care is a death blow. If you don’t show up to the games as a protest, that’s fine. But make your voice heard in other ways. Visit the chat rooms. Wear your t-shirts. Take white shoe polish and write on your car windows if you have to. Email the AD and the school president. but do something.

Ehh. Gimme a break. I do actually like this site and visit it sometimes but I didn’t even notice the poll. Your not exactly google. Ur not gonna get huge results on a poll. Everytime ucf nation group on facebook posts something there’s a bunch of responces. U run a fire coach o’leary website. Don’t u think that fact alone might attract the more tired apathetic people. The people that say they don’t care want positive change but we’re not gonna get stressed at everygame when nothings being done. That’s why we’d rather party then worry about who wins something.

Apathy is never a good thing. You got 4 of 8 who didn’t care either way. That’s 50%. The people who normally visit a “fire-the-coach” website are not apathetic. They’re pissed off. If we were running a site for apathetic people people it would say. Whocareswhothecoachis.com or whocaresifwehaveafootballprogram.com
If you don’t care enough to do anything about it then guess what? You will be in Conference USA ten years from now losing to UAB in an empty stadium.
