AP (28) / Coaches (29) Polls for Nov 24

[Irt4su]

The media is starting to fall in love with Fran. If we can win out and get another great option at qb next year (and a fg kicker and learn to tackle) we could have that preseason hype needed to always be around the rankings

You can't suck for 25 years and expect consistent fan attendance. We've lost a generation of potential fans. I'm 35 and often one of the youngest people at a Cuse tailgate.

They came back in 2019. They came back in 2022. I was expecting a bump with a new Dome, new HC, new QB, and a good start to the season. Really surprised by the poor turn outs this year.

Memphis...their best win is, wait for it... North texas? One of the only teams on their schedule with a winning record this season. Explain this to me.

Even Missouri, crushed by ranked teams and best wins BC and Vanderbilt

Fans are NEVER the problem.

Full stop.

Well, no, fans are not a 'problem'. We have been mainly mediocre to god awful for decades. And we haved choked hard and often in pivotal spots. Over and over and over. I know exactly why casuals have stayed away.

But we have seen big crowds turn out in recent years for big games. They are not now that the team is 8-3 and playing a top 10 team. If playing to 35k in this type of game is the best we can do, all the Fran Brown mojo won't save anything. Kids want to play in big environments. If we cannot provide that, even for one game like this, well, I guess everyone can do the math on the long term outlook.

You go to the wrong tailgate.

Been to a bunch of different ones at home and on the road for the last 15 years or so. I also grew up with a bunch of dudes in upstate NY who don't give two farts about Cuse football because they've been terrible our entire lives. Not sure what to tell ya.

But Norman is not wrong. Our fan base has been sad and apathetic for decades. This has been discussed on here and the reasons why poured over ad nauseum. We are likely looking at thousands of empty blue pews for an 8-3 team playing a 10 win Miami team in the top ten. Norm is right. It's pathetic.

Perhaps the program shouldn’t shyt the bed for 25 years. That probably would help attendance.

There is no wrong tailgate. He's hanging with the right peeps.

 

[VTAaron]

The bad thing is they are 1 score games but we controlled all of them.

debatable

I'm about 50, and pretty sure I'm going to the right one.

FULL STOP on this part. No football team has been horrible our entire lives. I grew up on Mac, and others. And to all the bleu pews especially the student section. I called it... and if youwere at the game versus watching in a MeiersCreek 75" you saw it... on the MeiersCreek thread... Student section. Look at all the pissed off season ticket holders now... Create a new thread about this and get SU attention especially after the first 2-3 home games it been a ghost town and overinflated... Or just stop talking about attendance. I don't know about all, but I was pretty appalled that they had sporadic seats with more adults than kids in the 300 on that section for UConn.= when the SU students only.
I have had season tickets for years, been to every game this year. So I know and so does everyone else on the other SIDE of the field that have been displaced.
Partial TV Armchairs and bar observations are nothing like talking to constant ticket holders I sit next to every game.

100% agree. for the last couple decades, yeah, we have indeed sucked. I grew up on all you said my friend, no arguing the Mac winning and then P. But its been bad for a long time
