First, please don't jump on me this is a serious question...
When the season started I thought that this was going to be the year that OU basketball was able to make a slight dent into the football madness...With the average performance of the football team, I kept thinking that OU fans would rally around ANY winner...Hence a great, even good, season for the basketball team could gather some more supporters, albeit bandwagoners...Who would be potentially drawn in for several seasons, after they see the product and get to know the players...
As we all know, there are few diehard OU basketball fans, and I'm afraid that with the season we're likely to have, the number of supporters at the LNC will only go down...We all know that the side effect of limited crowd support is felt on the recruiting trail...
I was so pleased last year, as I felt that the support of OU basketball was finally getting to an acceptable level; however, I'm now concerned...So my question is will this season cause us to lose even more support of the fan base, and set the team back several years, particularly in attendance?
I'm hope I'm wrong, and I would enjoy your comments...Please this is not meant to be disrespectful to Coach or the team...My concerns are for the future of this team that I love to support...
