The diehards talk them up. Anybody I talk to, I mention how much better they are. It doesn't matter much because I live in Tennessee. Your comment about your friends is exactly the point I made previously. People like that won't believe it is true until the season long record reflects it. For two years in a row we had promising early season success and fell apart at the end. We know the team is different this year. They don't and nothing you say will change their minds because they know you wear orange colored glasses. When was the last time you pointed out deficiencies in the team to them? It's likely been never. Therefore, they see you as the Syracuse fan that cries wolf. Now that the team is getting good, they don't know that they can believe you because that's what you have always said. It will take at least one full season of success for those people to believe. It's the way it is and you can't change it. Belief will follow results with them.
