I enjoy tailgating before games as much as anybody.
I enjoy meeting people at tailgating.
I am well aware that the world doesn't stop spinning on its axis if we don't win.
I am all for enjoying life while we are alive (the recent loss of Katie Richards hammers that home).
But that is not what this thread or forum is about.
This thread is about the 2023 FB season and where we stand as a team and a program.
And the biggest problem with our program is not people like @UND-FB-FAN or myself. It is posts and attitudes like this, where 7-4 is considered good enough and we shouldn't say one negative thing about it. It is attitudes like this that convince people like Chaves and Armacost that a change is not needed and everything is just fine as it is. It is this same philosophy that has held back all our non-hockey programs for the past 15 years (ever since we moved up from D-II to D-I). The attitude of "I don't like we lost, but these are just 'student-athletes', so it doesn't really matter if we win or lose" is simply not appropriate for a Division I collegiate athletics program like UND.
This is not high school, where if the team never wins anything, it doesn't matter. And as long as we keeping running this athletic department like that, we will continue experiencing more of the same around here.
If you want to focus on having a positive attitude about life in general, go read Zig Ziglar.
Because that is not what this forum is about. This is the toy department of life. And it is not asking too much to expect something decent under the tree once in awhile.
