True, and (warning -- extreme generalization ahead) it's mostly due to the fact that on the whole, our fan base tends to be among the least educated, and I'd argue that translates to a lack of knowledge of the intricacies and schematics of sports like football and basketball.

I mean, just look at Bama fans. They griped for years about being too run-heavy, only to turn around and scream about Nussmeier being too pass-happy.

Yeah, most have this notion that there is only one way to play the game if you want to win, they seem to be more lenient in strategy and philosophy for football than basketball, from what I've observed on the internets.

I don't care what people say, style of play does matter to a fan base. Arkansas bitched about Heath, UCLA bitched about Howland, UK bitched about BCG. Fan bases will only tolerate slow basketball that is painful to watch if they are winning.

Same with football, if Bert had the same record but had a 4,000 yard passer, the message boards would be talking about how promising the future looks because the team was relying on freshmen and sophomores.
