It's sad that you all needed a meeting for the Ozone... I mean honestly you are a student section. If you show up and cheer the others will follow. The thing is that you are relying on 3 or 4 people to start the chants. The band is a better student section than you guys. I don't even stand in the student section anymore, and advise my friends to find better seats. It is sad when you don't even have an impact on the game.
Are you kidding me bro? This post is all kinds of wrong. This is your solution to the problem? Just go cheer, no boundary conditions? If I sit in the heart of the Ozone but cheer with uncertainty in my voice, if they can barely hear me, will I be the leader they look to?
This meeting was about putting ourselves in a position to be successful.
If the sustainable solution was just cheer, we wouldn't be in this mess. The truth is there are guys like shabamon who can lead an entire student section by himself with just confidence, enthusiasm, and consistency. But when guys like him graduate and move on and there is no one left to take his place we find ourselves with our current problem.
So this meeting was about putting a system in place to weather the weak years when that leader isn't present.
We could use your help if you're willing to lend a hand. If you'd like to lead a section with your friends we now have a system in place to reserve seats for you right up until tip off. Seriously.
