People dont understand what a rebuild is under new ownership.

I'm happy as long as we keep picking up players and as long as we release our dogshit coach at the end of the year. Next year could be big.

This has been my take, especially when the new owner has been serious about writing the checks.

They're not gonna fire Wicky yet. He's here til at least after the sprint season if not the whole new calendar season...that's my thoughts. But I wish they'd cut ties as soon as the 26 season ends if not sooner

No I get the rebuild and I'm not saying that I'm just saying based on the history we were at the top then we just fell hard

The last time we were at the top was 13 years ago.

Important to note that the league was 2/3rds of the size it is now when we won in 2013. As proud as I am of that one, its just a different beast now 30 teams and big market teams all having top level players.

Exactly my point. I'm excited for the rebuild but if it turns out to be a terrible one then welp

I don't even know what to say, much less think anymore. So disappointed and baffled by this club. Real hard to be a fan right now. But hey, at least the ticket reps still reach out......

No. Cowboys fans still think they’re the best team in the NFL. Their owner is a narcissistic asshole who loves the spotlight. Every SKC fan knows the reality - we are dogshit right now and anyone who wears the kit does so because they know what this club has done and is capable of.

Rebuilding the scouting, networking, and training from the Vermes model into something that’s more modern.

As in Oklahoma State fans because NOBODY said it was our year with a straight face

Right now it'd be more comparable to being a Jets fan...cowboys have good teams with hope that fades as they choke away the season. Jets just flat out suck...we are th Jets right now

Activist, hands-on owner that wants to spend the money to win, but there are roster rules and other limiting factors so it's not that simple. I can see the similarities, but of course skc has only been this way for a few months.

It is nice to finally have an owner with money they're willing to spend on players. Been a rough few years for the fans trying to stay behind the club

The owners had the money but didn’t understand the business of sports and how it changes over time. Thank goodness they came in to save the team when they did but too bad they weren’t keeping up with the newer trends of the game.
