The younger alumni, who would typically be the ones with the free time in life to come back, cut their teeth with either a mediocre at best, or terrible at worst program.  They don't have nearly the bond that we do with SU football.  And who knows if we would if we weren't so relevant at the time we were in school (all 8 years for me).

It's just a real challenge that we'll continue to have until people actually think we can keep pace with the more elite teams, like we used to.

There doesn't even seem to be that Dome advantage, where even if it wasn't full, we just played better there.  Clemson comes in and scores at will.  We can't keep up, we have nice drive then screw something up.  Same with FSU.  Even Maryland got such a head start.  Louisville comes in with a true freshman QB, and that game just got uglier and uglier.  I actually think (to counterpoint Bees main argument) that we probably had a better probability of beating ND in NYC than in the Dome.  Based on how we're playing there.
