Where is the Love?

With the men's basketball season home-opener against SUNY Old Westbury only three days away, there are a lot of things for Hofstra fans to be excited about. With four returning starters and a decent showing at the Charleston Classic the team looks to be in much better shape than they were last year. The big question is, will the fans be excited? While I would not go so far as to say that the basketball fans are bandwagon fans, it is a shame that it is the only sport on campus with a respectable fanbase. Even more disappointing is just how much it relies on any given season's performance. While I am no better for not committing myself to go to a lot of games, I wish Hofsta was a school where the students lived and died by their team. I think if Hofstra could make a good push like back when they were incontention for the dance with George Mason, but that's a lot to ask from the team. Hopefully, a good start to the season will bring fans out, and hopefully there will be something for student to go crazy over.
