Fans - part of the show, or not? (Split from Pryor Thread)

From Terrelle:


[scolding voice] You guys gotta wake up and see that, you the fans.. are not the show [/scolding out]

Since the "awesome" state penn fans do this for every single high profile recruit....I wouldn't be all that wowed by this.

There's also such a thing as lip service

If you think that weighs more on his mind than the performance of the team, uncertainty at the coaching positions, gameplanning, etc. etc. than I think you are sadly mistaken.

I dont think anyone said that the fans and such weren't a factor, just not as big as some make them out to be.

People did say fans weren't a factor, and proceeded to tell the "fans" to sit back and chill. Which is why I pulled that quote. Go read the article, he speaks about the coaching staff at PSU directly after the fans.

I do not think fans outweigh everything else, but I do think if Ohio State fans we're gone halfway through games and were not supportive, it would be a negative. Fans are not the end all be all, but they are one of the MANY factors, IMO. One of the smaller factors? Sure. But still mean something to some recruits, I'm sure.

Bingo.
