It makes me sad to think how little school pride our university has. In high school, sports were a very popular scene; everyone would look forward to going to the football games on Friday or the basketball games on Saturday. My friends and I would get so excited to dress up in our school colors and cheer on our teams. It saddens me to think that our school spirit at SMU is at an all time low. Thirty years ago there wasn’t an empty seat at the football games and now almost the entire place is cleared out by halftime. I know that we are not that good at football, but it is really about winning? Does our school spirit only come when the trophies start coming in? I believe that we should support our school no matter how good or bad we are. It is a statement of unity when we show our school pride. We should support our colleagues, teammates, students and university no matter what the outcome of the game is. in thirty years from now we wont remember going to the games, but we will however, forever remember the friends throughout college and the memories we had supporting our University.
I have attached an ESPN documentary trailer showing how far SMU used to go in order to have arguably the most school spirit in Texas. Also seen as the downfall to our school spirit.
