Sitting in the hotel here in Columbia, SC waiting to go watch the team beat USCe and I have noticed a number of posters here who have stated that they are going to stop their Grove Collective contributions if we lose today. How do people come to the conclusion that this line of reasoning will end with a positive result? Will this approach result in more players choosing to come here? Will it result in CLK staying and committing to us for the long term? Will the extra money you “save” from such an action make the difference in maintaining your current standard of living? Does this line of thinking sound like the actions of fans of a big time program?
As a founding member of The Grove Collective, I am making the commitment right now, BEFORE the game, that I will AT LEAST maintain my current level of giving, (which I have increased once already) through the 2025 season, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS the rest of this year and all next year!
I know that my level is not going to make that big of a difference, but what does it say to our players, coaches, and the opposition, if The Grove Collective loses a significant number of members half way through the season? Do we want to be respected as a big time program or not? If we want to be big time we have to COMMIT to being big time…ALL THE TIME! Who is with me? Ok, that is all! Stepping off the soap box now. LFG! HYDR!
