The Rubber Bowl being 8 miles SW of campus is one big reason fans don't turn out. Because students have never enjoyed attending a game at the RB and therefore there is little desire to attend as an alumni.I remember listing to Huggins complaining about attendance to French 20 years ago. I was a student during the Huggins era. Good/Great teams generate loyalty.I have had season tickets since Coleman Crawford and suffered through his pass the ball for 30 seconds and when the shot clock hits 5 whoever has it shoots.I suffered through Hipshers promising seasons to see a beat down team by year end, with fist fights between players and Hip on the bench. HIP couldn't even make it to the second round of the MAC.How many seasons of students seeing pathetic teams, coaches and seasons will it take to generate fan support in basketball?The students of today will be around in the future, but the program has to keep building momentum. KD is doing a great job. He not only has to win, he has to win BIG, now to see results, otherwise it will take time.I love going to games, MAC basketball is exciting. They are good games. The games are a bargain for great entertainment. But none the less I recall inviting friends to games such as Can't State, Nevada and Toledo and watching the Zips fall short. And they ask, what are you all excited about?The scoreboard not working drives me nuts.Go Zips!
