I have noticed for the last few weeks, our sports writters and editor have not had alot of hope for our 3-1 team, its sort of sad when fellow students don’t even think we have a chance against a given team. I suppose you have to be honest who would have thought we would have won, well I will tell you who, I did…and I was going to go to the game before I even read what was suppose to happen. This team ranked 9th from Louisville thats full of so called great players that were suppose to show up in last weeks game, who didn’t even seem to show up really, failed to impress me with thier 14 points after 60 minutes.
I have told everyone of my professors, when I read The Oracle that day, that the writters “flip flop” more then John Kerry which was alot of you remember. Although after 3 days of basicly saying they were wrong, as well as everyone that didn’t believe in USF, they started to write a different story.
This story was not that of a underdog but of a backyard dog, perhaps rough around the edges but still worth giving some love to. I hope the staff at The Oracle will read this, and in the future, show some school spirit even if its miss placed. There is one thing that even the best college teams need, is people to believe in them, and not doubt them even if the odds are not on their side.
I have to believe that if I went to UF or FSU, I would have never seen the things written in their school paper, it would only be good things to say. I understand you have to be honest to your readers, but at least give us some hope, even if their is no chance. I will honor the team, because I will be the one, to give hope to students for our team to win. Of course now that everyone thinks we can win, perhaps I should turn to the Dark Side but that wouldn’t be fun now would it.
