EDITORIAL EDITORIAL CARTOON Staying true
As the Grand Valley State University football team inches closer to a national championship matchup, fans should show the same support during the playoffs as they would if the team were in its final game.
Students do not have to be highly involved in campus affairs to know GVSU has talented athletic teams. The football team, which has not lost a game yet this season, marched into another playoff run looking to capture its second back-to-back national championship in five years. With heightened tensions and battles drawing closer to the trophy, the team deserves the same, if not more, support fans showed during the regular season. The same students who are already packing their cars in preparation for an Alabama trek should first make a point to be present at all playoff games. Last Saturday ’s matchup drew a crowd of 4,133. Although it was a holiday weekend, that fan base pales in comparison to the average YOUR INSIGHTS attendance of 11.807 fans per game the team pulled in earlier this season. With home field advantage throughout the entire playoff run, members of the community need to take time out to cheer players toward victory, helping ensure another national championship trip stays If you could ask Louie the Laker one on the horizon. While tickets for these games come with a cost, the Student Senate question, what would it be? has generously provided funds for 2,000 free student tickets to each playoff game. Tickets can be redeemed at the 2020 Information Desk in the Kirkhof Center or the Athletics department office with a valid student identification card. This Saturday, the Lakers will face off against the University of North Dakota, a team that halted GVSU’s postseason run twice in the last six years. Kickoff is slated for 12:30 p.m. With greater dedication from its followers, the football team will have one more motive to bring home another national title.
