Zips football has been historically bad during these studentās entire lives except for one season (8-5, when Bowden still gave a crap. Which was good for 3rd place in the East). Being a (non-traditional) student during that time, they were still a laughingstock among students and educators. āYay we won the Idaho Potato Bowl!! Ha ha haā¦ā When students live within an easy walk (or bus ride) of the stadium, get in free, and find something more fun to do, itās not going to be easy to change that culture.
It would take sustained winning, a couple wins against P5 teams, and lots of positive news to change the culture.
In Joe we trust.
