Pulled these two clips out to comment on. I think for "This Years 08" team you are absolutely right on about the weak competition hurting this team. They have not used each week to get better at what they do, they just seem to go through the motions enough to get the win and go see what the boosters have fixed for them to eat after the game.

On the second comment (underlined), I also want to agree with beetle01 but also add that this attitude must be genetic. I have had family from out of town come in to watch mine play , and they almost always comment how laid back our crowd is. They ask questions like, "Are you guys that good?" , "Is the team your playing that bad?" "Where are all the students at?" I can remember mine be out there getting ready for the opening kickoff, feverishly pumping his hands up and down to try and get the crowd into the game only to be shot down by silence. I remember last year, even during the 2nd round Mason Co. there were empty seats to be found everywhere on a perfect night for football. And the crowd didn't start getting into it, until the second half when Mason starting making a little run. As for the student section being half-empty, a perfect example can be found this year. We were running late for the Boyd Co game this year(1st home game). Seats were hard to come by as we walked in. That is until we reached the roped off student section where only about half the seats were taken. Why is that? But I guess maybe there were more than that there, because I seen quite a few, just walking around, texting, talking, socializing and visiting behind the stands in the walkways. I guess it was more a social event that a sporting event to them. (These are my perceptions. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe this happens at other teams home games as well-- I don't know)

Sorry to ramble. In summary, you are right beetle01

Being a past booster president I know what you speak of in the first blod part. We had our share of those.

As for the second bold part mine did the exact same thing as your except earlier years. Same number and everything.
