Fan Frustrations

Attention Boston College Fans around the globe:

There is serious epidemic that needs to be addressed. After yesterday's performance, countless alleged "fans" have begun to bash the current squad and discount the team's chances of making the tournament and making a run in the ACC.

In my opinion, this a bullshit! Chestnut Hill should not be a residential area for fair weather fans. In recent years, the Patriots, Red Sox, BC Football, BC Hockey, and BC Basketball teams have all enjoyed great success. Therefore, it is easy for students and alumni to pick and choose when to cheer. This is not fair to the team.

Yesterday was a bad game. We looked awful... fine. That doesn't mean that we should pack it in and start waving the white flag. After our rough start, skeptics abounded. Once we won a few in a row, ticketholders suddenly showed interest. Win or lose, fans need to support the team and make Conte Forum a tough place for opponents to care.

Cameron Indoor is packed regardless of the Blue Devils record. Boston College players need to know that fans appreciate their efforts, and will not abandon them when the going gets tough.

Stop showing up to games late. Stop leaving games early. Stop focusing on the bad, and start promoting the good. If we want the players to do their job each and every game, we need to do ours.
