Fans should show more support for Cats

Saturday night was nothing less than chilly. Not only was there a chill in the air, but in the attitudes of the fans as well. The first three quarters were slow, full of penalties and little offensive success for the Cats. But instead of encouraging the team, the fans chose to sit and do nothing.

The team needed motivation, encouragement and some of that old “We believe” attitude, but instead got tens of thousands of people sitting silently watching the game. In order for the team to have greater success, the fans need to believe again. Is this year’s offense as good as last year’s? No, but the talent is there and with some confidence boosting, the possibilities continue to heighten.

Heck, did anyone think that Mike Hartline would be a pick for the “helmet sticker” on ESPN’s College Scoreboard? So fans, let’s come behind our team and help push them to victories. Stay all four quarters instead of emptying three quarters of the stadium by the fourth quarter. Support our team through failures and success and begin to believe again. I believe! Do you?
