I have always enjoyed the game of football, especially college football. I believe every student that attends college should support their school's football team, but I know it is just getting harder for students to support Colorado State. They have not had a win at home since practically the beginning of the season and they haven't won a road game since playing Utah.
Yesterday's game was just a huge let down against Air Force. I love CSU football, but I was just upset by the plays that both the team and Head Coach Steve Fairchild were calling. Even watching the press conference after the game, Fairchild took full responsibility for the plays, he even said they were bad plays.
I love to support CSU in everything they try to accomplish, but this is just embarrassing. I remember at the beginning of the season the whole student section was filled up, now it's just about a fourth. Now this issue could be for the three 4:00 p.m. games CSU has had in a row. By the time the game is over with it feels very late and nobody wants to be out at Hughes in the middle of the night.
When Steve Fairchild first started out as the head coach for CSU, he led the team to a great season and even to the New Mexico Bowl. According to 9News, every season after his first, CSU has only won three home games and a couple away games.
We have one home game left, I know if CSU rallies together to show their support they will do well. This game should bring more students to Hughes, since it's at 12 p.m. and it's the Border War against Wyoming. Now if no students show up for this one, that's really disappointing.
I am guilty for the declining fanbase. I had four tickets for me and my kids, and I wound up giving them up because I didn't want to sit there in the cold. Had I thought it might be an exciting game, I may have embraced the chilly fall evening for the fun of it, but I didn't, and unfortunately felt glad I gave the tickets up. I feel your disappointment with this season.
