Let's face it: Auburn isn't "All In" during the second half of the year.
Once the festivities die down and winter break is over, the spirit of Auburn fades and students hibernate in dorms or apartments and focus more on nights inside than out.
What happened to the Auburn family that supports all Auburn men and women?
I have attended a few sporting events this semester and it amazes me how most of the Auburn family only cares about football. What about the men's and women's basketball teams who needed us to cheer in the arena to build a reputation for The Jungle? Though the stands started to fill up after a few wins, there were still a lot of gaps in the student section.
Why can't we support baseball, basketball, equestrian, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis and track like it's football season? There is no reason why Toomer's Corner shouldn't be rolled almost every other day from an athletic victory.
Saturday nights are full of fun and laughter after a big SEC win in the fall, but if you walk Magnolia on a crisp spring night you may see a few stragglers; no lines, no crowded sidewalks--just a few walking from here to there.
It's time for Auburn to be all in at all times. Supporting our athletes on the field can be the difference between a win and a loss and the student body needs to support and celebrate with them.
Let's support our spring athletic programs. Go to more campus events and party like the real world is just around the corner.
