Long time lurker here, thought I'd finallly post.  After growing up in Syracuse, I've been living down in the Atlanta area for the past 20 years.  There is such a different mindset down south when it comes to college football.  It is a religion.  Up north, pro football is king.  I've been to Georgia, GA-Tech (still trying to erase the memory of that last Tech-SU game) and Bama games (wife is a grad).  I can tell you that a lot of the fans at these games are not alumni, just locals who are uber passionate about their team.  There is no off-season for them, they breathe college fotball.  The north (with a few exceptions) just does not have that culture.   I think college football is a distant interest for most northern fans (pro-football, baseball rule).  You need to breed that culture at SU like what has been done with basketball over the years.  Unfortunately, as mentioned several times above, that only comes with consistent winning.
