The World According to RIck

OK so I said I would post more often and although this is more often then I was posting it is still not as often as I had hoped, oh well.

So yesterday I drug my better half to her first UCF basketball game which we ended up losing to Memphis which was expected. What wasn't expected is the fact that we actually made a game of it and were winning through 3/4 of the game. The only reason that I am telling you this is be cause I later went on to the Orlando Sentinel's website to read a story on the game. Low and behold to my surprise there is someone there that is complaining that UCF never wins close games against good teams. Although this is the case I have to say that it really has nothing to do with my support of the UCF sports programs.

The point that I really want to make is that true fans support at team whether they are winning or losing. Bandwagon fans are not what makes a team better, what makes a team better are the fans that are willing to show up at every game and support the team to show the recruits that that fans are there win or lose. By showing those high school students that we are willing to do that makes them more interested in playing for our team than another that they may be interested. Take FSU for example, they have had some bad seasons in the past few years but every game the Doak is full of people. Now if we could do that for every sporting event we would get the athletes we need to win those close games.

Sorry for the rant guys I just needed to speak my mind about fair-weather fans

GO KNIGHTS, CUBS, MAGIC and 49ers :)
