I've been trying to say this but you, and others, have done it better. I feel the whole institution is a paper tiger.
To change the quote a little, you can't truly call yourself "great" unless you are capable of greatness. If you're not capable of greatness, you're not elite, you're pathetic.
This is the distinction those idiots will never understand. Demand greatness, allow time for it to be met, and if it isn't, the first thing you don't do is look elsewhere. Look internal, find and fix the problems, and then try again. Continue until you meet what you're looking for and wanting. And quit relying on some intangible 12th man to bail you out of any and everything with the home cooked excuse of "the 12th man didn't show up so therefore we lost". There's no 12th man. There's only you and who's on your left and right.

Until aggy understands and embraces this, the will always be perennial losers. This victim complex is a tired and old bit that has been worn out. Sorry for the early morn rambling and philosophy.
