I was a diehard fan for 30+ years, went to every Big East tournament, rarely missed any game.  Sadly, I just don't care anymore.  It's not 100% due to the current product and started before this season--my interest in all sports has tailed off in recent years, life experience and some of the things many people inevitably go through at one point or another has played a part in changing my perspective on many things, not just SU hoops.  Ironically I made a career change a few years ago and now do a lot of with pro and college sports, and I enjoy the work more than anything I've ever done, yet my interest in sports in general is a fraction of what it used to be.  The move to the ACC though, while understandably necessary, has played a part in my declining interest, as has the ensuing mediocrity that has followed.  As others have pointed out, college hoops as a whole has changed, it just isn't what it used to be IMO.  I hung in there through some rough periods, 93, 97, 99, 02, 06-08, and never felt (or not felt) the way I do today.  For those who are still passionate about the program, I hope things can be turned around and that SU can find its way back to the level of excellence we were all so used to for so long.  The realist in me though, looking at what's changed about the game and the program, as well as what's coming, can't help but think the glory days may be more and more a thing of the past, and that what we've seen for five seasons now is in fact the future.
