Message: [QUOTE="SmilinBob, post: 271701, member: 857"] Heck if it were up to me I'd schedule 7 games at Syracuse and 1 in NYC/NJ each year. I love what Doc is doing and he got caught with his pants on the ground when TCU and the hillbillies left. VTech schedules games in DC and they have had a bit more (sarcasm for those who don't see it) success than SU in the past 10 years or so. LSU did the same again, just slightly better than SU over the past few years as well. I've constantly preached that this team needs, absolutely needs 44+ to go to the games and if people constantly need their butts kissed just to cheer for their local team then to be honest you're never going to win them over until you win the games to win them over. 20 bucks to see a game and people complain when there are waiting lists to see some crap and I mean complete crap teams ooc from other schools. Schedule a tough team and lose people aren't happy because you're losing, schedule a crud team and win and people aren't happy because it wasn't a "big" name school. I've seen this in hoops too, the fans wait for the big dunk instead of getting loud to pump up the team, they have to be moved first and all I ask is why can't the fans be the ones to take the first step? Show up...fill the place up...be loud...support the team for 2 solid years to help Marrone/staff/players and then we put it on them. Then...they can't blame the fans so let's put the ball in their court and stop playing the blame game and support the team. If Doc upgrades the facilities and the fans show up 44+ strong my money is on this program turning it around and being the Syracuse we all know, want and love. I hate losing so don't be part of the problem be part of the solution. [/QUOTE]
