    This is a great article and definitely something that has had me thinking a lot about the sports culture at DU and what we as students can do about it. I personally find that the difference between our school and others is that most people who come here do not come here seeking a “college experience” that involves tailgating and football games since we do not have a team. Being from Louisiana, I see many people choose their colleges strictly based off of the football culture, specifically at any of the SEC schools. I think at DU people are just simply interested in other things. It is crazy to think that we have such a good hockey team and little interest though. Great article!
