Being present to start the third quarter about a third of the crowd...absent. However, the crowd isn't playing the game. Listening to radio post game comment "never saw Griz more flat coming out of halftime".
Much of the crowd left when EWU went up by two scores (about 2 minutes left)...like a bunch of babies.
Bandwagon fans show their colors when things go bad or when they feel it is a bad reflection on them how the team or coach and or coaches perform. They themselves cheer out of convenience or to be part of what they view as a superior group.
One of the threads, Gameday guide, how about a fan's guidebook. Many do not live by the standards they impose on the team. They chastise missed tackles, lack of effort, and poor coaching. They themselves quit supporting the team when things go south, they leave early, they are so self absorbed bitching and drinking at halftime they reappear late in the third quarter and spread their negativity with the fans that enjoyed half time.
The loss is not a fan issue the bitching and crying is. Simple solution if you don't like the way things are...leave and stay away.
Part of good sportsmanship which is another issue...congradulate your opponent when you get your ass handed to you. One EWU fan after the game said Griz fans are the best. Another said Jensen for a freshman is a great QB. Sometimes by applying good ethics you find relief in the most unexpected places. I didn't expect the EWU fans post game to be good winners, but they were. Congratulations to EWU on the win.
