    Lariat Letter: Students need to show up to basketball games

    I am a staunch Baylor supporter, all sports that are on TV. I live in Jonesboro, Ark. I and my whole family watch every game that is on TV. I was in the Baylor class of ‘59.

    It makes me angry to see so many empty seats. Where are the people? Where are the students? Kansas is solid blue. Kansas State is full. The commentator in Saturday’s women’s basketball game between Iowa State and Texas said that Iowa State had 13,000 in attendance.

    If I lived closer to Waco I would be there. Where are you? Why aren’t you supporting your winning teams?
