The Matadors may not be the Bruins or the Seminoles, but they are still a talented team worth watching. In fact, the Matadors recently tied the Bruins 9-9. Baseball attendance is decent but it should be better. The most disappointing turnout for sports is at the women's basketball games. The team may be struggling with a 4-19 record, but maybe a large fan turnout would inspire them to play better.
Nothing can replace the feeling of having fans roar their support.
It's pathetic that in Saturday's 53-51 home loss to Portland State the Vikings' fans largely outnumbered the Matadors' fans. These fans traveled nearly one thousand miles to support their team. CSUN's sporting teams should be so lucky. College basketball may be big in Montana, but the combined attendance during the Matadors' two-game road trip through the state drew more fans than their entire home season as of Feb. 12. The men's basketball team gets its fair share of fans, but they often show up well into the first half.
