I posted this in the tickets forum, but thought it may be better seen here. I have 3 tickets for tonight and can't attend. The parking pass is Lot B. PM me if interested and we can figure out how to get the tickets to you.

I'm afraid the attendance tonight is going to be very sad.

I wouldn't expect anything more. The team has completely crapped the bed on a very promising season. Even us die hards are having a hard time coping with the disappointment of this team.

I'll be there. Count me as a die-hard not having a hard time supporting the team.

In the Stew years it took many seasons of consistent winning to elevate fan expectations to lofty levels. In the Duryea years, no one would've batted an eye at the losses that we have seen so far this year. But with Smith's meteoric rise from the ashes of the Duryea era, we came to expect consistent, and even increased excellence this year with most of the team returning.

We've seen what the team is capable of with huge wins over top 40 SEC teams in neutral environments, and we've now seen that on any given night (or 3), we are capable of losing to teams we shouldn't lose to. Is it disappointing? Yes. Is it worth saying things like "This is the most disappointing team in the history of sports!" or "I'm done wasting my time with this team!" only to return and then say it with our next loss as well....

Probably not.

I think this level negativity is just around the die-hard fans. People will probably keep attending as long as we keep winning at home for now. This team is fun to watch. Crappy games happen. Keep a level head and enjoy the game.

FIFY. I completely agree with your premise though. Die hard fans recognize that sometimes you lose. That's why they play the game. There's no reason for a die hard fan to over react. We'll still end up with 20+ wins this year and have a shot in the conference tournament. The sky is not falling.

Yes, all fans expect to lose sometimes. But the way you lose counts to me too. When I see what I perceive to be a lack of effort and toughness, it is hard for me to get too excited for the next game.
