Who are the Pilot fans?

I think it's really cool to hear from the non-alums like purple haze who have gravitated toward the team. As a classmate of Tiffany Milbrett's, I can pretty well remember the process of becoming a fan. It's great to hear from people who did not attend the school who just support women's sports and good role models. The joy expressed in the women's sport after scoring a goal or the agony of the end of a season (when the women always seem to fall down and cry if the season comes to an end in the tourney) is really a one of a kind experience.

Sidebar: This experience can also be observed by watching Adam Morrison.

Seriously though, I do believe that being invested in our women's team is an incredible experience. I think this experience is developed, in large part, by the clear gratitude the girls have for all their fans. IMO, it's a wonderful relationship that keeps the fans coming back to scream their lungs out for every home game and it keeps the girls thriving to perform their very best (not that they don't already have that drive).

It's one of those circular things, isn't it? The girls show their appreciation to the fans in many ways, so the fans become more numerous and more rabid, so the girls show even more appreciation, the fans become even more numerous and rabid, etc etc.
