Message: [QUOTE="Shenexon, post: 1478628, member: 129"] A lot of what I've heard from long-term fans that I respect is that SU communicates poorly, has a poor vision of SU as a sports business, and lacks appreciation for the importance of the regional community, at least on the administrative level. I've been involved this year for the experience, not for the relationship that SU needs to build with those of you that have suffered for those same decades I've been elsewhere. I got to go to the spring game, fanfest, have been toodling around SU a good bit, spent some time in the SU Library Archives, have a glorious season ticket for football this fall, and have been greatly enjoying my time in CNY, but I'm a poor example for the purpose of this discussion. Dan, if you're reading this, take back a message that SU has done some promising things but needs a significant effort to re-engage disgruntled locals, including things as simple as better communication and more difficult things that would make attending games more affordable and beneficial for real supporters of the program. SU is an institution of higher education, but a big part of SU is as much a sports business as anything at this point. I think Syverud & Coyle get it and will either improve the program significantly and/or make it right with you guys that are the core of program support. I'm hoping to continue my sabbatical in CNY next summer and fall as well. This year has been wonderful. One of the best things so far is that Mrs. ReedNY and I celebrated our birthdays during the Wake Forest victory. I guess SU could have made that better by offering a: "Birthdays In A Box" promotion and set up birthday celebrants in box seats or other premium seats. Maybe next year. [/QUOTE]
