Well, support means turning out for an event, not talking about things on a forum. Do you know how the community responded? How many people watched the scrimmage? How many people went to the dinner?

It may have been a flop, but just because there are no responses on a forum doesn't mean there isn't support.

There's a ton of support, but things change as life goes on. You move hours away from the school, have kids and there's this pesky thing called work.

It sucks, but because of work, I haven't been able to make it to a home game in about 3-4 years.

Does it mean that it's less on my mind, nope! I try and support in other ways.

I attended with the other 30 to 40 spectators (mostly other EU athletes)! I sat next to an 65-70 year old man who graduated from Washington & Lee who supports Elon FB. As the scrimmage began, with a little more than 25 spectators (3 being with me), the gentleman stated, "look at this" as he motioned his hands surveying the empty stadium. He was disappointed by many things surrounding the football program yet he was there. So was I despite traveling a distance, 'pesky' work, house duties etc... I understand it's preseason but surrounding colleges faithful travel to support their teams in droves. We make excuses! Just wondering how we expect big things from FB team if we only support them with constructive criticism on this "Elon Phans" blog/page. Just saying. Btw it was a great scrimmage I guess many will come out when they start dominating opponents this season. They're looking good.
