Frankly, it's inexcusable - especially from the students. They still have the shuttle service from Marshall Center so travelling should not be an excuse. Is there just no longer a football culture on campus?
Additionally - I am really disappointed in the alumni who did attend. Now, they made the trip and that's half the battle but wow was my section lackadaisical. There was absolutely no enthusiasm whatsoever. It was my first game in awhile as I just moved back to Florida but I was shocked at how quiet my fellow fans were. I felt out of place at first because I was one of the few cheering and cheering LOUDLY. At halftime when the team headed toward the lockers I was the only one around me cheering them on - it was truly shocking.
Toward the end of the game my section became louder and I think that's a result of 1) people coming from other sections who weren't originally there and 2) my enthusiasm finally rubbing off.
You play to win because you play for yourself and your teammates but it's understandable that you may play with less passion given the measly crowd there supporting you.
I'm so sorry, Bulls. We have failed you and it's shameful and inexcusable.
I was in section 112.
