I think the worst loss for the Herd has been the quarter to one third of our fan base that doesn't care about Herd football anymore. That became evident at two big home games last year (So. Miss and ECU) where we didn't have the stadium packed...not to mention the VT game not being a sell out. People don't show up to tailgate any more like they used to. The West Lot used to be full and jammin 4-5 hours before games now its half empty at kick off. I credit the dynamic duo of Synder/Marcum for that. To me that is worse then any one single loss because the long excruciating road that we have taken to lose those fans.
Now that we are moving in a positive direction I hope we get most of those back plus some.
