Bryan, you're so off-base here you don't even know what you're talking about. I'm sorry, I love you, but you're just wrong. You didn't see what happened so you have absolutely no basis for what you're saying. The fact of the matter is this crap happens every game and when you work as hard as me and Andy to get this stuff going the right way, when you spend as much money as we do, and when you put so much time into something, it gets frustrating when this crap happens every game. For the past two years I've let my grades suffer for athletics. I've let my bank account bottom out God only knows how many times so that I could make it to a game. I have blown off family members and friends so that I could go to a game. I've turned down jobs for work because I wouldn't be back in town in time for a game. When you do that much, and get treated like we do every game, it gets to a point where you start questioning it. I've overlooked so many reasons not to do all of this stuff for the past two years simply because I love this school and love these things, but sooner or later you start not being able to overlook those things. I wish I could do something to show them what it would be like without us. I really do. I can't though. I love this team, these players, this school, and this staff too much to not show up to a home game or not cheer for them. I've driven four hours to games on a Tuesday night after having class all day with class the next morning at 7:50 because I love this school. I had an intensive, left right when class was over, drove two hours to a game, got back at one in the morning, and went to the next day of intensive because I love this school. I'm not asking for a thank you. The only thing I ever ask for is our guys to play hard on the field/court. However, this is the fifth or sixth game this season out of eleven home games that we've had someone get up in our faces when they had absolutely no business doing it. Did Chris say something over the line? Yes. We corrected that. We're kids. We screw up. The best thing about our group is that when we screw up, we apologize and try our bests not to do it again. That's not what we're complaining about, but since you didn't see what happened, you have absolutely no clue what we're upset about. I love you kid, I really do, but this goes so far past tonight that I don't even know anymore.
