In the midst of the football team’s amazing run this season, one important story has been brought up – a problem that still has not been addressed by the student body.
The attendance at Drake’s home games has been as dismal as ever, but even worse considering the season the team is having. The Bulldogs are 7-1, in the midst of a five-game win streak and are currently in a three-way tie for first place in the PFL – impressive for a team picked to finish sixth in the preseason polls.
A common excuse for low attendance from students is the teams’ poor performance, but that is no reason to miss a game at Drake Stadium this year. Drake students should be proud to support a Bulldog team that is off to its best start since 1998 and has a legitimate chance to win the PFL.
I urge each and every one of you to drag yourselves out of bed this Saturday at the early hour of 1 p.m. and go watch the Bulldogs defend their win streak against Campbell and show them that you appreciate their incredible season.
Right on, Peter. And the Dogs host Dayton for the PFL championship on the Saturday following the Campbell game.
This has been a great football year. The games are great. Our Players are great! It is a shame the students are missing out the great feeling of supporting your team and classmates!
