But Irish, football has changed. Fans are so sophisticated now, what with Madden, NFL Network, and around the clock coverage, they understand the importance of defense, oline, etc. How many Skins fans booed in 2004 when we chose a safety over an explosive tight end? My Dad did, but he's from the 1960's.

How often do you go talk to a guy with a Skins hat in the bar and he doesn't know what he's talking about? That NEVER happens!

People talk about Snyder's marketing brilliance and his ability to keep the fan base excited every year, despite a lack of success on the field. Well how much of this new free agent austerity this season is a response to outrage from the fan base over some of last year's moves? I would argue at least some (Lance Briggs notwithstanding).
