Student support at games lousy, quiet, unacceptable

TO THE EDITOR:

This past Sunday, we were unfortunate enough to witness a pathetic performance at the Dean Dome.

Now before you all come knocking at our doors with torches and pitchforks, it is not our beloved basketball team of which we speak.

It is our student section. The student section was constantly out-roared, out-clapped and out-spirited by the general public. We even heard a little girl’s “Go Heels” over the crickets.

It was the worst display of student support that we’ve ever been forced to experience. Perhaps some of the students in attendance just weren’t clear on what it means to be a devout fan.

We hope these tips will help:

First: It doesn’t matter who we play. No game is a “gimme.” Second: When we’re on defense, make some noise! Third: When the general public is louder, there’s something wrong. Finally, it doesn’t matter if our team is winning, losing, good or bad.

Support them unconditionally. That’s what it means to be a Tar Heel.
