Au contraire mon ami my former next door neighbor cited the get a life comment as the reason he dropped 4 season tickets and has stayed away from the football program. That coupled with the decade that we went through convinced him to stay away. A relative is married to a life-long football supporter, he canceled his packet of season tickets after that remark. Over the years I have dealt with many athletes in various sports and they hardened their attitude against Syracuse University after those remarks and the smugness that the AD showed toward this "one horse town."

Bill Dutch, the spokesperson for the BOT said, "Now if you ask someone at the ballpark a question, you will get a polite reply and be helped. Treated like a valued customer. There are times at the Dome when personnel can treat customers rudely. Most are great people but those with the bad attitudes need to be weeded out.
