These seniors gave us three consecutive winning seasons and bowl wins. THEY deserved a better send off from us the fans.

Instead most fans boycotted the game.

Angry with the season, Fitz and McCall? With good reason.

it’s not right to take it out on the players,

Maybe 7500 people here seven minutes before kick-off.

I guess we’re a front runner fan base.

Are these the same players that some have argued that they have quit on the coaches?

Go talk to Fitz. Why should fans care if Fitz sabatoges the program by being dopey and year after year of madness on offense he says McCall is his man?

Look at today. The players all quit already. They aren't stupid. Since Fitz decided to be disloyal to them by being loyal to one underperforming individual, then why should the players care? Much less the fans.

Deal me out of madness. We have no moral obligation to be in the stands. Fitz has an obligation though.

Moral obligation? I’m not talking about a religious experience. But if you give up on a team after one lousy season can you call yourself a fan?

It’s called a vote of no confidence. And given that Fitz clearly doesn’t care about criticism from fans in the media or online (remember “hashtag I don’t care”?), this is a natural next step to get his attention.

I hate to miss Seniors Day for f-ball or b-ball. Family obligations sent me to Dallas.

My group are non-alums. I expect some will not renew.

I think the loss of attendance will force decisions.

Wow!! Thanks for the post. I bet your a devout Catholic. You're spewing of guilt takes me back to the days when I was an alter boy. Remember, you will burn for your sins and have a nice day!!

I didn't go to the game. So what? I have better things to do with my time. And I've been attending games since my freshman year in 1976. No body calls me a fair weather fan. I'm just tired of losing football this season. And absent coaching changes, I will not renew my tickets. McCall has got to go.

The late federal Judge Milton Shadur once told a senior partner of mine in open court "Mr Hiering, if three people tell you you are drunk, it's time to sit down." Please mention that to Fitz, somebody, please!

I was there and this crowd was sure larger then last week.

For those of us that did show.......good

For those that didn’t show......stuff happens.

in addition, fans usually fail to show by the masses for losing teams. It happens in high school, college and professional sports. When a team wins, people show.

Aren’t you the one constantly trying to goad people into board bets and “putting your money where your mouth is?”

Interesting that you'd mention Judge Shadur, Schizo. My older sister was his secretary for probably 25 years, and I had the pleasure of meeting him on several occasions. Fascinating man, a one of a kind.

I didn’t go. Cause I no longer live in Chicago. Still have my season tix, but I literally couldn’t even give these tickets away.

What did they object too?
Were they confused about the name Ignore?
