Best forecast of Syracuse I have seen.

 

[storange]

No offense but fans will come out when we’re good again, this is Syracuse.

 

[Trueblue25]

Most positive I have heard anywhere. Nice to hear.

I tend to agree. The problem for home attendance is the Maui Invitational. Even if we play well it could be three losses really early in the season. Of course a few wins would put us in the Top 25, so who knows.

Driving up Wednesday from over 4 hours away for my first game since 2000 at the dome vs gtown and only second since graduation in 95.

I know that sucks of me but showing some love to the new regime and respect to the old. I will spend many a dollar locally as I show my son every place I threw up on campus.

Ps have been to a ton of football and basketball games closer to me (just needed to show I don’t totally suck).

Pps Joyce I will see you there?

Ppps Georgetown sucks.

Season ticket holders will be there. You can count on them.

Season ticket holders will be there. You can count on them.

If I recall attendance was way down last year, and it seemed there were big gaps in the lower levels . Hope you are right, I will be there for 4 games.

Yes, attendance has definitely been down. Perhaps curiosity will bring people?

 

[UpstateSM]

It feels like Christmas Eve. Hopefully we start strong so this feeling lasts. I miss it.

 

[Orangefan1]

I’m on vacation but I’d be there if I could.

 

[hoopsupstate]

We will find put how many season tickets were sold by the announced crowd tonight. It will be easy to compare to other years.

 

[Bill Orange]

I’ll be there and while I’m no David Bennett, I was at Coach B’s first game at Manley on 12/1/76.

Let’s go Red and Let’s go Orange!

Me too. I’ll be making my third trip down to SU since last Wednesday night with still another one on Wednesday night. Looking forward to Red’s debut. How times have changed. Just thinking how late the first home game was in 1976.

 

[BigNastyJon]

If the team is going to play fast, anyone object to calling them Reds Rockets?

 

[Cusefan0307]

I can't wait. Today is like Christmas for me.

 

[rocklloyd]

I’m looking forward to not falling asleep from boredom midway through second half. Can’t wait to break the cycle from the last 4 or 5 years. I might even cut out a schedule and magnet it to refrigerator as an homage to the old days.

How was the article on Dr. Dave? I don't have a subscription. I texted his son Steve this morning about having a local celebrity in the family but he knew nothing about it. Great family.

Basketball should not start until or after thanksgiving. Too many games and waters down the regular season.

It was mind blowing! An amazing feat. So happy he’ll be in attendance!

Hopefully some of Red's old teammates and friends will be there to help kick off 30 years of Red's hard work and to celebrate his first victory.
