[UKCC]

I get your point, I really do. But, football teams have 3x the players a basketball team does which equals more parents. Once again, I love all CC sports. I probably missed 3-4 home football games max during this era we speak of and caught several road games. It's also one thing to attend games and another to cheer. I've been in the tailgate area several times and it's more of a social event, which that is what a tailgate is. This is a potential coach thread but something I've always pointed to is that in basketball you have the fans virtually on the court whereas in football (especailly in stadiums where there's a track dividing the bleachers and field, a la CCHS) it's a bit less interactive. This may be from pure observation but another thing I've noticed over the years is the lack of "football" faces at other sporting events. I see basketball, baseball, track, tennis, coaches at football games. This may be completely wrong but of people I've known over the years football is the one sport that really stays within it's self. Other coaching staffs are just way more personable as well. It may be the physicality, blood, sweat, and tears mentality but I just don't get it. I will say though, the night Zach broke Couch's record was quite a crowd as well as the 2010 CC and PCC game. Several more come to mind.
