[QUOTE="GTJackets, post: 848018, member: 759"] Not directed at you, A_J. Just my thoughts and venting. Admittedly only two of thousands but I was there screaming my heart and voice out at every home game and the Benz this year with at least one other family member in tow (actually had the pleasure of meeting one of the Augusta Jacket fonts at a tailgate before one game listening to him check Supersize and some of his opinions). Drove over from SC and spent money on hotels and of course the Varsity every home weekend. Created lots of memories with my boy as he came with me to every game except one (my daughter came with me to the KSU game) and is ready to do it again next year. I was unable to make it to the last game due to a family Thanksgiving gathering here in the Charleston area. We made as much noise as we could from our seats in the upper north. We gave it everything we had on every "money down" as well as other downs. Cheered every first down on O and sang and clapped along with the band for every score. And it got really hard as the season wore on after watching most "money downs" end with a first down conversion regardless of the yardage needed. I guess I could say "the losses were too much for [me]" as well. Just couldn't prioritize the trip that weekend. So I guess my bottom line is that I get it. Losing sucks for all of us. Just stings a bit to get lumped into "fans don't care" by players because I missed one game which unfortunately fell on senior day. But I guess they can't really say "not enough fans care." I suspect some players would feel the same if some rando sports reporter put a mic in my face and I said something like "our players have had a really poor reaction to everything that's happened since Saturday." I think that's an accurate statement for some of them but others might get offended to be lumped into a statement like that. I'm not a fair weather fan. I'm a Jacket fan. And by definition those two can't co-exist. But GT unfortunately doesn't have as many of those as most schools. So how do we fill up the stadium? Win more games? Remove seats? Because I'm pretty certain after this season that I have no control over either of those factors. But I'll continue to do what I can. And support the players that give their all every weekend as well. [/QUOTE]
