Message: [QUOTE="xc84, post: 753999, member: 1526"] Who should be the most loyal fans? Answer: Alumni. It is the alumni that should be going in good and bad times. The problem at SU is that is not happening. Let's not say however that if we don't get the alum loyalty of Alabama, PSU, Tenn., Mich. that somehow it is a failure. That is probably too high a goal. But marketing to alumni is the key here. Sure, we can get the surrounding areas to invest time in a winning team. However, without the wins their is no real affiliation to get them to go. That's why alumni are the key here. If we want good attendance even in bad times, the alumni have to step up and the university has to do a better job of getting students to be loyal alumni and tepid alumni to be rabid loyal alumni. With all that said, winning helps on both counts. [/QUOTE]
