No Hypeness Here
I am hype for HU. All of the time and maybe too much at times. At other school they give off so much school spirit. I'm in the band but before I was in the band, I was like a huge HU teams fan but sadly I was never able to attend volleyball games, bowling games, sailing meets, and golf tourneys in the past two years. We have some great teams at HU and I know that they are always looking for support. I'm still a fan now of HU Sports but at times I feel that I am apart of a very small percentage of HU supporters. I don't worry about what I have to wear to the game cuz to me it's not a fashion show. It's a great time for Hamptonians young and old to go out and support their teams. I mean, maybe it's a region thing or a carryover from people's previous schools, but I know in my home city of Nashville, people used to be so hype about going to their schools' events. I think every one had cheerleaders, some schools had bands, pep clubs, and boosters, but what we have to realize is that sometimes that is not enough. Like for instance, cheerleaders and the band have to be at the games because it was a commitment they made to their peers and team. I know that I am just rambling on but to make a long story short, HU has no spirit whatsoever outside of these organizations, teams, and clubs that I have listed. And what Earn said about the Pirateers. Parents and past alumni are more hype than current students. What's up with that?
