This may be true, but is Syracuse's fan base really that much different? Look at SU's recent football attendance, can't really make the argument that SU fans show up through thick & thin. What was the [I]actual[/I] amount of fannies in the Dome for the Rhode Island affair? I can honestly say that it looked like (as a TV viewer from a far) it was at least half empty. It was quite sad & disappointing. How many will show up today?

Blame the economy/recession if you'd like, but data supports Syracuse's numbers faring much better than many, many other places. And, ticket prices are quite reasonable. Translation...the economy really has nothing to do with it. It's just simply [B]interest[/B], or lack thereof. Unfortunately, many Syracusans whom make up the community and surrounding areas are indeed of the fair weather brand. Unless the team is kicking some A, for the most part, they'd rather be at the fair, apple picking somewhere, or just doing something else besides attending a football game up on the Hill. :(
