Get off their backs

Ok, so I know Indiana State football is the laughing stock of the entire country.



I know they have lost a national record 32 straight games. I also know that most of Terre Haute and the surrounding fans are sick of all the losing.

I also realize that when we paid NAIA team Quincy 30,000 dollars to come to memorial stadium and lose, we still managed to lose in overtime.

But, what I also realize is that we are project and we are rebuilding. Now I know what you are thinking. You are all saying that we have been rebuilding for a decade now.

All I have to say is get off of their backs. I continue to hear people say they should cancel the football progam, but people only see what happens on saturday afternoons. They only see the final score and they ignore the improvements and the positives of a team that is just looking for support.

We are in year 2 of Coach Trent Miles hiring, and people already want his head. But those people don't realize that he has brought in top recruiting classes in his 2 years as head coach. They don't understand that the team is composed of; 7 seniors, 13 juniors, 25 sophomores, and a staggering 37 freshman. That means nearly 3/4 of the team is underclassmen. Which would explain the last second losses and the breakdowns after half-time. They have no experience.

I honestly believe the Sycamores are 1 win from being a really good team. If they can get one win I don't think they would stop winning. The Sycamores have talent in every position they are all just learning the offense because they are so young. We have a quaterback with exciting playmaking ability and the leadership to get this team on a role.

All I ask is that you give them a break and a chance. Go out on a saturday and watch a team that is getting better everyday. Don't go and watch the scoreboard, instead watch the little things that matter right now like the heart and the passion they have for the game. GO SYCAMORES!
