[QUOTE="gte447f, post: 665692, member: 4289"] Unfortunately, GT fans just don't have it in them to PROTECT THE INSTITUTE. It's sad. Think about it this way. I think it is safe to say there were probably fewer GT fans at COFH than any other game this year. If we had 35% then that is 19,000 fans and by my eyes it looked more like 20%-25% (11,000-14,000). The exact opposite of what you would expect or hope for in your rivalry game. That has nothing to do with traffic or parking or kick-off time, etc. You can't even pin it on disappointment or disgust with the coaching or results on the field this season, since those factors have been present pretty much all season. It probably has something to do with human nature, and especially typical GT fan nature, to avoid conflict and intimidating situations. It's like the opposite of pack mentality. People just don't want to knowingly subject themselves to being mocked, intimidated and made to feel embarrassed, which is kinda what happens when a large, vocal contingent of an opposing fan base invades your stadium and they and their team practically run you and your team out of the place. p.s. I'm not a psychiatrist and I didn't even stay in Holiday Inn last night. [/QUOTE]
