As far as today goes, this is the end of Greek Week which is a pretty big deal among the Greeks. Right now, in fact, they are at the RC doing their biggest event of the year. A lot of them will not go to a Sunday game when Panfrasing falls on the same day. The student turnout seemed about right to me. We played UMKC and most of the students couldn't even tell you what UMKC stands for.
We can complain and whine and what not about the students, but that is not going to get them out. When I was on the interfraternity council board, Jim Les came to one of our Joint Council, which is the biggest meetings among fraternity and sorority boards, and promoted Bradley Basketball and doing incentives for the Greeks because he was one. I think that the Greek turnout that year was lower than I had ever seen it. It will take a lot to get them out unfortunately and I honestly don't know what will actually do it.
On a positive note, I want to give kudos to the Greeks that are there. I know the most, if not all, leaders of the Red Sea are involved in a Greek House and they try to do the best they can to get them out.
Sorry I don't have any ideas, wish I did, but that is just the way it is on campus right now. Especially after how disappointing last year was. I don't think I missed virtually any home games my first 4 years at Bradley, but last year, my 5th year, I think I only went to 2 because it was painful to watch our team.
I went tonight and while we didn't look so good for a while, we scrapped up a win. I think that will be the forte for this team even though I would definitely prefer some more blowouts
I know you weren't looking for a novel from me, but just wanted to get my thoughts out there.
