Where are all the fans?

Friday morning, only one day before UVa’s big football game against Eastern Michigan, athletic officials noticed giant donuts marked up on the field.  Somehow a UVa rival (who is just jealous of the Cavalier football team I’m sure) was able to sneak a car into Scott Stadium and vandalize our field.  It didn’t seem to affect us much though, because our football team was led to a win of 48 to 21!  Go Wahoos!  Although one problem prevailed…where were all the fans?  The game brought a low sum of only 37,386 fans on Saturday (capacity of 61,500!), the lowest attendance since the Duke game in 1997.  My response to that is: “where is our pride?”  Whether they’re fans from the community or simply UVa students, we need to work to boost our enthusiasm about weekend games and instill a greater sense of pride to support our football Cavaliers!  So I expect to see, at least more than 37,386 fans in Scott Stadium this Saturday.  Be there or you’re not a true Cavalier!
