RE: Even Calipari wants fans to show up for Memphis game.

[Dan Marshall]

the main thing is, the more we hear people telling us "we're hurting the
kids" the more it makes me think that it IS making an impact.
 
Funny, they didn't think about hurting the kids when they fired the coach
that they came to play under, and they killed recruiting and they drove the
fans away... Who's hurting the kids?????

This is indeed a much discussed issue on this board so I will keep my
comment brief.
 
Not that ANYTHING is going to move the presiden/BOT but I would say
a half empty arena makes a big statement.  Decreased contributions
make a big statement.  
 
The same "you should go to support the players" argument was made
about the Bengals in the 90's.  Not until the stadium was half empty
did a change finally occur.
 
Again, I am not naive enough to think that we can "push" them.  I do believe

this though.  If the seats are filled... there is much less reason for them
to 
do ANYTHING different.

There is a link to the Post article on the Bearcatnews.com page. There is
also an Enquirer article. In a nutshell he surmises that no one is hurting
the administration and BOT and everyone is hurting the players by not being
there for games. Personally I agree with him although I know not everyone on
here shares my opinion.
