I decided to try a little experiment this summer and dug out an old ETSU football shirt to wear around town, mostly to the gym and grocery store. I can't even begin to count how many comments and second looks that I've received from people. Yesterday alone I had 3 people in less than an hour stop to ask me about the shirt. It's been like this all summer no matter where I'm at. I've had doctors, mechanics, alumni, current students, and random apparently non-alumni tricities residents ask me about the shirt and what I thought about football's absence at our university.
Every single person has told me how much they miss buc football and how they would love to see it played at ETSU again. I can't help but feel that their is enough community interest to make football work. Every time I talk to someone about ETSU football it makes me optimistic that it can make a comeback someday. It's encouraging to know that people acknowledge that something big is missing from ETSU, that the players and games and experiences surrounding Buc football have not been forgotten.
Everyone that reads this board and has a buc football shirt or hat needs to start wearing it. The more visible we are the more grassroots interest we can drum up. I'll have mine on every time I set foot on campus this basketball season and I hope to see many more doing the same.
