“Real fans don’t abandon their NIT-bound team”
It’s from a Florida Seminoles fan. Here’s the ending though…
[I]If th[/I][I]ere is one thing I advocate, it’s school spirit. College is supposed to be one of the best experiences of our lives. You invest four (plus) years of your life for a sheet of paper? I don’t think so. You devote yourself to a school, its colors, and its mascot, but more so to its team.[/I]
[I][B] Walkin[/B][B]g around campus today, you wouldn’t know we lost to Wake, or are playing tonight, or that we even have a basketball team, for that matter. That’s sad. I have this advice for my 'Noles: do some recruiting of the basketball fan variety. Our boys deserve it. I’m not saying you have to be the next Speedo Guy, but how 'bout some spirit? A little body paint never hurt anyone. If you can’t be an athlete, be an athletic supporter.[/B][/I]
