What's Missing at UVU? Add Comment    May 24, 2010

After attending UVU for about a year now, I've asked myself one question.� Where is all the school spirit?� I walk the halls and I see students with their favorite college logo on their sweatshirt and it's not UVU.� I even found myself in this crowd.� Living near Provo all my life and being related to Levell Edwards, I have always been a true blue BYU fan.� But I attend UVU.� Shouldn't I bleed green?�

I decided in the fall sememster of 2009 to attend one of UVU's basketball games.� When I arrived I was shocked to see the few that were attending.� I saw more family members then I did students. I felt almost embarrassed to be there.� There is something wrong here!

UVU sports needs more hype.� More excitment!� The only event that is taking place at the moment is baseball.� UVU's baseball team is doing exceptionally well.� They will be playing in the Great West Conference Tournament this week in Edinburg Texas starting May 26th-29th.� They will start off by� fighting Chicago State this comming Wednesday.

I bet that if you were to ask any student roaming the halls of UVU they wouldn't know any of this.� This is the problem with UVU.� They don't have enough fans.� One of the key factors in a game are the fans cheering on their players.� If teams had more support from the fans I would almost guarantee they would play a lot better.� The fans are the ones that give the players that extra "umpf" they need to press forward.� The players would then play a lot harder and actually have pride in who they are playing for.� I would like to give Utah and BYU another rivalry team to play against.� In the end, I would hope just little more of us would bleed green.
