In response to MAM's post on school spirit (you can read her post at I commented the following-
"Our school definitely needs to work on our school spirit. It's not that our team is bad. There are teams from where I'm from that are really bad. They haven't won a game in years and still everyone goes to the games. People here go to the games but leave at halftime! If our fans and student body were more supportive maybe it would motivate our team to win. Then more people would go to our games. It's a never ending cycle i guess. The 'Stangs just need that first push."
Alot of people have commented on our school spirit or lack there of. The problem as I see it though is that the SMU Mustangs have nothing to win for. Our fans leave a lot to be desired in the stands. We boulevard like it's out second job, I'll give us that. But when it's time for the game, where do all those people go? Not into the stadium. The students that DO go to the game leave at halftime. How discouraging for our players.
I really do believe that if the SMU fans would just bite the bullet and stay for the whole game to cheer on the team, the 'Stangs might start to win a few. Then even more people will come to the games! We just need the student section to stay and give the SMU team something to win for.

You may have a good point about staying through to the end becasue so many of the games were lost in the final moments. You wonder if more student voices screaming might have made a difference.
