Heres the thing. Even at 9-12 we still have a chance to go to the final four. At 0-1 ( hell even at 12-0) we have zero chance of playing for a title. Hope helps put fannies in the seats where no hope does not.
Were only a bball school by virtue of JB
Who cares? We were back in the 80's when people wanted him fired.
i agree with that, but how do you explain almost every other bcs school in the country? at most places football games are events where at very worst people use it as an excuse to get away and party.
Because football here is not a religion like many people have said. The nfl rules over college in this state. It just is what it is. Same reason why when alabama or arkansas are 8-8 in hoops they play in half empty arenas too.
I don't know I guess I just remember going to game after game for years where I couldn't even hear the person next to me. I guess I just don't want to accept that it could actually come to this. More depressing then anything else.
To Marsh's point, do you think that people in Syracuse understand how good Clemson is? They definitely know Duke and UNC are games they want to attend in basketball. The marketing department needs to educate the "basketball people" in the next two weeks. I doubt there will be a sell-out, but 45,000 would be fantastic.
Yes, I think people know. They're the big name in the acc. They know it. The problem is the casual fan is looking for an event. To get 45k, it has to set up perfectly. 3:30 or later game so everyone can rake their leaves and then make it to game.
