Because we would have 3 to 4 fans show up each game. 

You mean the same amount that show up to the women's games? Come on, if the team wins, people will show up.

You really should give it a try.  I have found the games pretty stimulating.

I tried watching some World Cup matches. Just not my cup of tea.

Come on.  Ninety + minutes of 0-0 play is why soccer fans drink heavily and fight.

You need to watch the European Championships. This past years tournament was one of the best I've seen. At least try some US Mens National Team World Cup qualifying games. Games that matter for a team you care about

We had a soccer team in the 70s

To me, soccer is as exciting as watching paint dry.

Had a VERY good team through 1993, the year before I enrolled. 22 straight winning seasons, I think. Team was disbanded in 1993-1994. We still had some of the (former?) scholarship players in school on the club team in the mid-90s.

Title 9 casualty apparently. Looks like SMU is the only school in Texas that fields a varsity men’s team, at least through the time of this article.

These are good.

I think my biggest complaint about soccer is the flopping.  They are overly dramatic and it is almost comical at times.

I wore tube socks in the 70s.  They were cool at the time.

TBH, I thought it was Hedlund - getting my decades mixed up.  But I see Hudlund wasn't coach of the men's team until 1991, and as we know, he WAS the last men's coach.

Hedlund was an assistant on the men’s team.
