To all Buc Fans and Closet Buc Fans.....The time is now.
For years I heard all the reasons why ETSU cannot be a first class University, nor have a first class athletic program. I don't have to rehash all those reasons, we've all heard them.
The University now has dynamic leadership that has done more in three short years to move the University forward in all areas than anyone could have imagined.
What is lacking to take the ETSU to the next level? IMO its unabashed, total commitment by the populace. What is the difference in Appy State, Georgia Southern, Old Dominion, North Dakota State, etc......fans, thousands of fans dressed in BLUE and GOLD, yelling their heads off , creating a hostile atmosphere, causing headaches for the opposing team, being a true disruptive supporting fan base.
This Saturday ETSU will play their opening SoCon game against Western Carolina at Bristol Motor Speedway ( Something that probably will never happen again ).
WILL YOU BE THERE SUPPORTING THE BUCS.
The Bucs took on the chin last year playing a roster that was nearly all freshman but they never gave up. They worked their butt off during the off season to become a stronger, faster and wiser team. They got up at 6am and lifted weights, ran sprints,
did all types of conditioning, plus went to school. They went into their first game on the road, in front of a capacity home crowd, against a Kennesaw team that beat them badly last year, a 26 point underdog. I'll be willing to bet my next paycheck that 95% of everyone picked Kennesaw to win.
BUT THE BUCS WON.
The Bucs IMO have already proved they are much better this year. Can they beat Western Carolina, yes, but it will take a tremendous effort and that effort can be raised to a higher level by having a big, huge turnout by BUC FANS.
I don't expect the Bucs to win every game because the Bucs are still young but they are putting in the work to be better and they deserve to have the support of true BUC FANS.
Get your buddies, your family, your neighbors, your co-workers, your classmates, load up the SUV , the van and get to the game and cheer on the BUCS.
I hear people say they want better programs, they want a bigger stadium, they want video boards, they want a winner. How do you get those things, by being in the stadium, in Freedom Hall, donating your time and money.
The administration, the athletic department, the students and the players of all sports are doing the right things to provide a University that everyone can be proud off, now its time for the fans to get on board.
CURRENT BUC FANS, CLOSET BUC FANS, BANDWAGON FANS, the Bucs need you at every game, become the twelve man, its fun and its rewarding.
I'LL SEE YOU AT BRISTOL, I'LL BE THE ONE DRESSED IN BLUE AND GOLD.
GO BUCS.......GO BIG BLUE
