I don't know, everything I have accomplished in life has a direct throughline to my time on the hill. That includes my wife. Without SU and the education I received there I'm not sure where I'd be today. At least for me, that's a reason to pay respect. I guess I don't look at the process of attending a university and thriving afterward in part because of that university as a transactional one. What I mean by that is, just because I paid to go there doesn't mean I shouldn't respect and honor the institution that helped make me who I am.

With that said, I think the university needs to better explain to people that it's important to stay for the alma mater after the games. I actually don't know the words of the alma mater. I do for the fight song, but not the alma mater.

Maybe it starts in the way they introduce freshmen to the alma mater in orientation and then reinforcing the importance of those words and that song throughout their time there. Get students to stay, and soon you have alumni that stay, and then maybe you get folks from the area to stay.
