[QUOTE="684Bee, post: 631718, member: 3034"] I'll start out with the caveat that, if you're a fan that's been consistently buying tickets, showing up for games, and/or donating, then thank you. You've done your part. If you haven't been doing these things, then all of the finger pointing needs to be right back at yourself. It all starts with funding. Where does that money come from? From us, the fans, buying tickets, donating, spending money at home games, etc. GT has been woefully behind for a while now. Want GT to have better coaching? Gotta have the money to pay top-notch coaches. Want GT to recruit better talent? Gotta have the money for recruiting personnel. Our fans are not buying tickets, attending games, or donating at the level that will get you these things. I know plenty of examples of this just in my circle of friends and acquaintances. At our tailgate area, on the lawn in between the library and the Student Center, we were outnumbered by Citadel fans. That's sad. They were 0-2 (losses to Elon and Towson) heading into playing at GT, so you know they had to be expecting another loss. But they showed up and were having a great time. We can't just sit behind a computer and think we deserve these things. You've got to invest in it. And when I say invest, I don't mean like the way you rationally invest in a stock. I mean invest like a fan (short for fanatic). It doesn't always make rational sense (sit in traffic, stand in line, sit in the heat, etc.), but you're a fan, damn it. That's what we do. [/QUOTE]
