[QUOTE="stingem103, post: 461507, member: 169"] There are numerous lower tier FBS athletic programs that don't seem to have a problem with consistent fan support during rough times. Ive never been anything but a GT fan to be fair..... but I do feel like we are a major part of our own problem with the way we as fans/alumni react to adversity. It seems like we have plenty of fans when times are good but they are very much fair weather which really feeds negativity in general. Being in a state with another major power five school is different vs some of those below average programs mentioned above with great fan support (big state schools mostly). I really do feel like we could do a lot better as fans regardless of what our guys do on the field....our players seem to have very little support due to this mentality. One example, Ole Miss had a ton of folks there to see them get destroyed by Bama last night...its not like they didn't all expect that result but they were there. Obviously, we have been more successful than Ole Miss hence some higher expectations but I would say we need to get better as fans if we really want a healthier program from top to bottom. I have heard from some older folks that GT folks have been this way for a long time but I think it might be getting worse. [/QUOTE]
