As I said in another thread, i checked wunderground.com and the graph shows that upper limit will not be reached until midnight, long after fans will be gone. I'm not sure how much of a difference it will make, but it clearly will be significant compared to imagining the upper limit of the projection happening at the beginning of the game. At tip off the total snowfall wont be even close to when the upper limit is reached at midnight and what carries long into the next day.

Check wunderground.com and see the exact graph, and you'll see why that statement isnt quite correct. Syracuse, NY | 18.8° | Mostly Cloudy

Headmaster9 & I will be there. I live in Syracuse but work in Norwich. It's 133 miles round trip. I'm suppose to work a 1o hour shift on Tuesday, but will take a half day and shift my caseload to Wednesday, which I originally took off as a travel day to follow Syracuse in the NCAA. The drive with the snow will be tough, but I want to be there for the team.
We are disappointed to not make the NCAA, but will support our team through the NIT. I'm always bummed to hear others who say they are fans, but then will not support or follow the team in the NIT. I have close friends who do this, and I love them dearly, but I guess they are not true diehards like Headmaster9 and I. I hope for a big crowd, but expect less then 2k.

Ha, I havent seen your posts in awhile, for whatever reason. I generally see the other 9, Headmaster, and you 9's always mention the other guy. It's pretty cool to have a friendship and game companion like that! I actually had a very good experience this season at Wisconsin with Zippie. The guy seems to do everything right, and I endorse him for anyone needing someone to split a pair of tickets like I(he) did this season. I think it's cool you guys have been set for years. I really appreciate fans like you. I think this thread under estimates central new yorkers! If people dont go, it wont be due to the weather(other than maybe the students who might choose to come back). The locals are rugged, as are people like you within a good radius.

You like to wager. I will bet you $50 right now that it wont even be 8 inches by tip off. I will make the bet right NOW if you'd like.

If the fan base consisted of the large amount of fair-weather fans that come here daily you may be right. However, I have faith the true fans will spend their time and money supporting the program instead of hiding behind a keyboard throwing stones at it.

so the true fans are the ones that buy a $15 ticket to an NIT game, not the ones that spent the thousands. good analysis dude.

If you spend thousands on seasons and can't scrape up $15.00 for a tourney game I'm not sure what to say.

if I can spend $3k on seasons I can spend $15 on an NIT game.

it's not about having the money, its about not spending it to watch more crap.

I appreciate you being a good sport, brother! What if I lower it to 6 inches by tip off? Make it $30?

True fans will go to the game.
Fair weather fans' support waivers because they are front runners.
Nobody's happy to be in the NIT.
