Message: [QUOTE="A Clockwork Orange, post: 1466603, member: 16"] As soon as folks from the 'Cuse start traveling to every away game, their claims that alums that live many hours away are to blame for lack of attendance is laughable. I bleed orange and blue (and grey, and white I guess) and live eight hours away. I might make one to two games a year. I can't make six or seven, just like townies can't travel to every away game. So trying to make this an alumni problem is ludicrous. Could we have better alum showings? Sure. I would love to see true outreach on the part of the AD's office looking for alums within a three hour radius. Fact of the matter is, most alums move five hours or more away from the 'Cuse when they leave. Trying to blame lagging attendance figures on the alumni base is like me bagging on locals who don't travel to all games within a seven hour radius. It makes no sense. [/QUOTE]
