They have no loyalty to us, investment in us, or care about our advancement. I have heard of their uncooperativeness but this is my first experience with it. As their local team, who plays games there fairly often, we should have a cooperative working relationship.
As fans, instead of putting pressure on and bad mouthing our school, we should put pressure on the Independence Bowl to be more cooperative with us. Using media, newspaper articles and opinion pieces, Tv, and online social networking, we should justly criticize the Independence Bowl and their decision to choose an OHIO instead of waiting 24 hours for it's local team who contributes to the bowl, and city annually.
