They're being fans.  And they're acting like literally [I]every other fan base on Earth [/I]when the team they follow is in the midst of a multi-year run of very poor play.

The[I] "they're just kicking Red when he's down/no need to be so mean"[/I] sentiment that some folks are endorsing is silly.  It's the usual refrain of those who think they're above the cretins who follow SU sports.

This is how sports work.  This is especially how pro sports work, and, like it or not, men's college basketball is a pro sport now.

Meanwhile, Syracuse is such a soft touch community compared to most.  People are upset that 20 students chanted "fire Autry".  And that a few dozen internet posters keep posting that they want him fired.

Hell, the Dome crowd hasn't even [I]really[/I] booed yet.  Just a couple instances of a smattering of grumbles.

I've seen full blown toxic situations surrounding a franchise and/or coach.  Right now at SU we're at like a 3 or 4 on a 10 point scale.  And this fanbase simply isn't capable of hitting a 10.
