Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 763174, member: 405"] Actually even in the "good" years under Marrone, we've been pretty poor at home, but for the occasional big upset. That's part of the reason the crowds have been a bit slow to come back. I think Saturday is going to be a whole different story. People forget, but we almost took down Florida State in 2004, too. Trailing 18-14, and if we hadn't fumbled late down near the goal line, we could have taken the lead and probably pulled off the upset. People used to say that the fans should come out no matter who we play. That may be so, but it sure is a hell of a lot more fun to play "name" programs, isn't it? This league is a great fit for us and is going to do wonders for our home attendance over time. The quality of the opponents is going to help bring fans back to the Dome. [/QUOTE]
