I hope you're right and we can finally be happy with gator football again. But there's a reason that people have **** to talk about Mullen and the program overall. The pumpers are the ones that can shut the hell up until somebody shows real proof that there's improvement.
Nah, come on man. Every school needs pumpers. Fans that love the school, go to the games and are fiercely loyal. They offset the very knowledgeable, very pragmatic fans who see every weakness and become insufferable articulating how bad the program, coaches and players are. Their intent is honorable....They want nothing more than to see their team win championships every year. Their frustration often grows to the point that they often can no longer bear to attend the games and some even say they won’t watch on TV.
Pumpers naively surround the program with positivity even If unwarranted whereas dumpers feel the more negative aura they can introduce will eventually lead the program to make the changes to win championships every year.
I say both serve a purpose. Pump or dump as one sees fit.
Proud pumper...it’s a lifestyle.
