Tuesday, I wrote a rebuttal to an article in which Don Williams of the Avalanche-Journal attributed the tens of thousands of empty seats at Saturday’s Texas Tech football game against TCU to a “not small” portion of the fan base that wants Matt Wells to fail.
While I still contend that the attendance issues stem more from a decade of bad football in Lubbock and declining interest in attending college football games among fans on a national scale, there have been more than a few Matt Wells detractors who have reached out to tell me just how much they hate the Red Raiders’ first-year head coach and that they do in fact hope he fails.
