Although our football team isn't living up to expectations, students have a responsibility to support their respective programs. However, the athletics staff is also responsible for putting a quality product on the field.
We haven't seen much of that this season, but the Tigers still have four games remaining to gain momentum and end on a high note.
Whether personnel changes are made or not, the Tigers have to respond with a positive attitude in order to come back next season with a chip on their shoulder to prove they're quality competition.
Hiring two former NFL coordinators seemed to be the answer in the offseason, but hasn't translated on the field, leaving the coaching staff to ponder how to form a consistent and successful program.
By no means should anyone stop attending football games, as the Tigers need the students' support, especially with homecoming this weekend, but we can leave our options open.
SEC media days for basketball have come and gone, and coach Tony Barbee has gathered an improved Tigers squad that is said to be the most complete and formidable team he has had since his time on the Plains.
With a double-overtime victory against Alabama, the women's soccer team is thriving and is another great way to spend a few weekend afternoons.
So with the last four games, show up and support the Tigers. Our student section should be the loudest section in the SEC and have an impact on the opposing team's ability to respond under pressure.
The University has seen many hardships this past year and will likely endure more, but as we have seen time and again, Auburn doesn't give up because of a losing record.
When I began classes at Auburn three years ago, I didn't understand the concept of the Auburn family and what it meant to be "ALL IN."
But after enjoying three years of great education and experiences, the Auburn family is what makes coming to this University so special.
Let's keep the Auburn family in mind this weekend and support the Tigers as they battle the Aggies and show them why Auburn is the toughest stadium to play in in the SEC.
