CT Sports Editor Blames Coaches/Admin for End of Sellout Streak

By: petebuddywilson on September 4, 2013, 7:47 PM | 54 comments

Article in the Collegiate Times about the sellout streak in danger of ending this Saturday:

http://www.collegiatetimes.com/stories/22448/sellout-streak-ends-amidst-...

I agree that the home schedule leaves a lot to be desired this year, but I think some of the blame is misplaced. I don't agree that the fact we haven't won a National Championship means the coaches are complacent. I think some of the blame is on fans like the author who turn their nose up at our "measly" ten-win seasons and ACC Championships. Yeah, we all want to win the big one. And it's frustrating that we've had quite a few quality teams that couldn't quite take that next step. But ACC Championships are a big deal. 10 win seasons are also a big deal. We should be celebrating those, not taking them for granted. Reading that article kind of felt like listening to a kid complain about his Christmas presents because his rich friend got something better. But that's just my take, what do y'all think?
