I'm not here to convince you guys that Syracuse has no chance, or even that Clemson is going to win.  It's just not going to be b/c of the crowd.  That was the point of my OP.

I was honestly surprised by how convinced your fans are that the crowd is going to be some deciding factor.  That's why I brought it up.  I'm sorry, but IMO, this team has played in tougher environments and performed well.  If you're here to try and convince me that 49k Syracuse fans can be louder than 85k FSU fans, I'm sorry, I'm just not going to agree with you.  FSU, Clemson, and other southern schools don't have to use Groupons to convince only 49k fans to show up to watch their team play a top 5 team.  We sell out for SC State.  And before you tell me it's because you got to be good to get fans to come, SC (who I absolutely can't stand) had 80k in their stadium every game when they were in a 21 game losing streak.  That's right, a 21 game losing streak.

People in different regions are passionate about different things.  I'm never gonna try and convince you that our BBall crowd will be as good as yours.  Please don't do the same to me.  We're more passionate than you, and we have 35k more people that are right on top of you as well.  Simply having a roof is not enough to put the Carrier Dome on Clemson's level.  Sorry, but it's the truth.
