That's a convenient take from someone whose program hasn't had a losing season in a decade. Real fandom isn't about blind loyalty to mediocrity. It's about demanding better. Boston College fans have endured some brutal stretches, like the 3-9 season in 2022 where the offense ranked 120th in scoring. Sticking through that doesn't mean you cheer for perpetual failure. It means you hold the program accountable. The Eagles showed improvement last year because the fanbase and donors pushed for changes, like investing more in the offensive line. Rival fans who preach unconditional support are usually the ones who've forgotten what a rebuild actually feels like. Supporting your team means wanting them to compete for championships, NOT just showing up to watch them get rolled by 30 every week. The data shows programs that accept consistent losing seasons see attendance and recruiting crater. That's not loyalty, that's negligence.
