re: Tiger fans saying the early loss is a good thing...

Answer the question of why they didn't show up if you need to know anything about what will happen next. I, for one, am not encouraged by what I saw. The culture that has to exist for that to happen cannot be fixed from week 1 to week 2 or week 6 or 12. It requires a complete stripping of the old culture and painstaking process of building a new and better one. Something only achieved in CFB by changing the coaching staff. IE (Texas)
Can they win 8 or 9, probably so but as soon as they face the challenging tasks the same thing will happen due to the lack of desire to be great rather than good.
