This is an excellent post. No one was rooting for Quinn to fail, some of us were just put off by the constant sunshine pumping of Quinn’s greatness (border-lining on aggy levels of delusion) when we could all see what was happening game after game.
It’s one thing to want your guy to succeed, it’s another thing to blame everyone else for a player’s faults because you can’t separate your homerism from the truth.
It also pissed me off when @Thatguy kept saying how unhappy Quinn was on campus because of the fan base when him and the team were treated like kings. I was there when Garrett Gilbert got booed off the field against BYU, and it was ugly, and that’s the sentiment that the Quinn diehards were pushing about the Texas fans’ feelings towards Quinn. It wasn’t even close and any criticism meant we wanted Quinn to fail. Sometimes the truth hurts, even if you were destined for greatness.
