I am writing this letter in response to Kyle Smith's letter to the Observer in yesterday's paper. The idea that Mr. Smith would like to get rid of the football team is one of the most unbelievable letters I have ever read in the Observer. Where is your sense of tradition, Mr. Smith? Where is your love for the school that has such a great relationship with its football team? Had it not been for football, there are many wonderful people and individuals who would have probably not gone to this school. Mr. Smith must be some sort of highly philosophical person and probably is backwards in many things he does. I am even willing to say he is probably from Kentucky and probably a Lyle Lovett fan for that matter. Well, in closing, I am proud of our football team and even though they have not done that good this year, I am still going to support them and cheer for them like I have in the past. If Mr. Smith doesn't want to then he can just go and meditate under a tree or something and think about what this school and football team mean to him.
