That’s why the Pitt game was such a momentum killer.I think the bigger worry is if the turnout is pretty decent, what is the impact if we get smoked. That could have a long lasting impact on the casual fan when the next time this scenario pops up. I'm not saying it should or shouldn't but we know the casual fan doesn't pay attention to depth, rebuilding a program, etc. They only think they wasted a night at the dome and won't do that again for awhile. Sucks but true. I know "fans" who think this same way.
Hopefully UNC was a great lesson going the other way. Leave early, and you’ll miss an Orange team that can win.
