Message: [QUOTE="Stern, post: 948782, member: 527"] The 0-2 start to a season kills all enthusiasm. Right or wrong the "casual fan" when they see SU is 0-2...they check out for the Season. By Sep 15th or so if SU is 0-2 the "casual fan" has no interest in going to any game all year. They chalk it up as another bad SU team and check out on SU football for the year. The die-hards can't, won't, and will never understand that. But that's the way a lot of people think. It's a mind-set and a culture that is around SU football. On the other hand if SU basketball started off 0-2 the fans will show up in force and say we need to support them more to help turn this ship around. It's two different worlds and two different mind-sets in this city when it comes to SU football and SU basketball. [/QUOTE]
