Message: [QUOTE="kingtidge, post: 558811, member: 994"] No he didn't. Do you think Michigan stopped selling-out their 100K+ satdium when RichRod hit the skids?? We have a "fairweather fanbase" (at least for football). If people don't like the product on the field, they stop going to games and we get a 2/3 full dome. This has become accepted dogma in Cuse football fandom culture. All you have to do is look at the dome on any given saturday... the scores of empty benches... the padded official attendance #'s, etc... Hell, we're lucky to get half the student section filled much of the time! Lots of people think this is BS and will often rattle off a number of reasons why they think it's that way and it's not a permanent condition of our program... but they are all just excuses... I do think DM was naive to think he could change that or that or he should expect different. Is what it is... [/QUOTE]
