I was watching the Auburn-Utah State game on TV and saw something I just couldn't believe.
When we went down by 10 points with about three and one-half minutes remaining, many of the fans began to file out of the stadium.
I was completely and utterly disgusted by this behavior. If I had been there, I would have said something to them; however, I'm a football coach myself and have responsibilities on the weekends that don't allow me the luxury of driving three hours one way.
If you are going to be a fan, you have to be a loyal fan.
Regardless of the circumstances, you must remain to support the team. It's not like the players and coaches were trying to lose the game.
I can't stand bandwagon fans. If you can't be a fan in both good times and bad, then it's better to not be there at all. The players and coaches can't leave during the game when things seem bleak, so neither should the fans.
Let's represent Auburn the right way. Are we a family or a nation? Are we All In or not?
