Duke students should be ashamed and embarrassed. Very few bothered to show up for the football matchup with Maryland Saturday afternoon. This seems to be the norm rather than the exception. The weather this past Saturday should also be no excuse considering many brave the elements during basketball season to maintain their line position.
Coach Cutcliffe, his staff and especially this 2009 squad deserve much better than the student body has offered so far this year. It is an absolute embarrassment for Duke students not to give complete support to this team. Is it too difficult to show up to Wallace Wade six times a year for a few hours and give this team support?
Students have two chances left this year to support this team. If I can drive to games from Richmond, Va., students should be able to get there from East, Central and West campuses. See you all Nov. 14 for the game against Georgia Tech, or in Charlottesville, Va. this Saturday for those willing to make the road trip.
