I have to say that I am really surprised that someone who fancies himself as "public-relations" savvy invokes JFK in this fashion.
 
I am thrilled to be a season ticket holder and have held them since my freshman year at SU (1989) no matter where I have lived in the state. However, in a time of nearly 9% unemployment in CNY, a fan base that has shown more apathy then passion due to the state of the program, he really should holster comments like that.
 
I understand the thought process behind the games at The Meadowlands. I certainly would have preferred USC to come here if for nothing more than the Dome field advantage and the fact that I believe it would give us a better chance at springing a program direction changing upset. Nevertheless I understand the thought process.
 
What I do have a concern with is the cavalier approach towards the loyals. It is enough for some of our season ticket holders to schlep up to The Dome, get parking, etc. let alone issuing a missive about them traveling to NJ.
 
I really would have like to have seen a concerted effort by the University to extend an olive branch by at least chartering a bunch of busses to travel from Syracuse to the game. Basically, an option where with the purchase of the ticket you could also sign up for a "free" ride on a chartered bus to and from the game with a bunch of fellow SU fans.
 
Not saying to pay for a hotel or even a cheap meal...just the transportation as a way to say "folks, we realize your concerns but we have a reason for farming these games out. However, we still value you and are going to help you if we can see your hometown team in person".
 
Sure it would have cost a few thousand but I really think it was worth as shot...
