KU football fans are disappointments

Kansas quarterback Todd Reesing confirmed my suspicions from Saturday. Watching my Cyclones take on the Jayhawks to the wire on Versus, I was shocked at how quiet the fans were in the second half. Wasn’t my TV.

Turns out there weren’t many fans left in the stands after halftime.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that about 8,000 fans bolted and never came back — to a tight game that ended up being a shootout. And Kansas is ranked in the top 20. That isn’t sitting well with the team.

“It is disappointing when you’re in a conference game and you’re a

top 20 team and you’re in a close game where you could really use some

fan support, and half the student section leaves,” quarterback Todd

Reesing said. “All the guys notice that on the team. It’s hard not to

notice.”
…

“It wasn’t too cold out there,” Reesing said. “That’s football

weather right there. I really don’t know why (they left). It was a

homecoming game, it was close at half and to see that many people leave

is disappointing to tell you the truth.”

Guess KU is still a basketball school.
