Half full or not so much?

On occasion, I’ve been accused wearing the “homer” badge during Marshall’s 0-7 start, pointing out enthused practices and gameday effort despite no scoreboard payoffs. Others say/write that they’re seeing what I’m taking in weekly – signs of real progress stirred with real concerns. So where do you fall, Thundering Herd fans? Is this team and program finding its way, or is 0-7 simply 0-7? Also, what can be accomplished in the regular season’s final five games?
