To the Editor:
I understand why the Carrier Dome hasn't been full. Two straight late-season collapses and 4-8 seasons may not have inspired confidence. But this year is different. This team is a few plays away from being 9-0 and the product on the field has been a clear improvement each year. As it is, sitting at 7-2 with a looming matchup against perennial powerhouse Notre Dame, the Orange faithful have no excuses for Friday night. The Dome should be full, it should be loud, and this team should hear our support. Whether it is for Coach Dino Babers and the remarkable turnaround, for Eric Dungey and the seniors and their stellar careers, or this entire team, which has scratched and clawed its way back into the college football rankings, the community needs to rally around this group.
