The Delusion of Our Fan Base

In light of the releasing of Chris Carter and Antonio Underwood, I find it quite amusing how many fans and commentators have changed their view of whether releasing a player from scholarship due to underperforming has played out. Before, we knew all knew it happened, but it seems that recently, trimming the fat isn't as shameful as it was once viewed. When 5 Bama players magically get released before signing day, some on here would get up in arms, calling it a heinous crime. Now we are all for it because we have a top-5 class and WE are the ones who have the opportunity to get there. And, to add on to that, apparently fans are trying to get rid of Braxton Miller because of JT's performance so they can use his scholarship to sign another "stud." Braxton has never been in trouble, never had problems academically, he didn't cause any news stories because of his off-the-field actions like other Heisman candidates and now people suddenly want to ship him off. What has happened to our fan base? Has winning changed us that much? Rant/over
