This is a valid take. As a diehard, I attend almost every game, and often lament the lack of fan support and the usually truly depressing atmosphere inside McCamish. It is the Thrillerdome no more. But I totally understand your perspective MWBATL. It’s very hard to support this program even as a diehard, so there isn’t much of any reason for a casual fan to be interested.I watched the first 5 minutes of last night’s game with SWMBO and we were both so bored and disgusted we turned it off. And neither of us even thought about actually going to the game. Folks who complain about the lack of fan support need to realize that you actually need to give us (more casual) fans something to cheer about before we will begin attending games.
Winning counts. Entertaining play counts. Losing and showing terrible basketball skills also count…in the negative.
Sorry to be so brutally honest, as I do root for the program and remember vividly the glory years of GT basketball. But you gotta give me a reason to get excited….
Last night was unfortunate. The crowd was actually pretty good. The students and fans did their part, but the team didn’t deliver. Probably burned a lot potential fan interest with that loss.
We have games like this every year that fail to capitalize on potential fan interest. The Wisconsin game a few years ago comes to mind. The upcoming Cincinnati game could have big if the team had taken care of business against uga last night.
