Message: [QUOTE="Atlcuse44, post: 1477724, member: 5382"] Perception plays a big role here too. I remember in the late 80's through the McNabb years, I expected Syracuse to win or at least be highly competitive. I believe that most fans at that time shared that feeling. That is no more, we've been beaten down over the last 10+ years by mostly inept play. Even in games where we are favored there is a lingering doubt in a lot of the fanbase if we can win and do so convincingly. Too many ugly Villanova, Akron, Maine type of games. Those of us diehards will continue to support the team regardless but for the fair-weather fans - that perception of ineptitude will take a long time to eradicate. It all ties in to what has been posted here a hundred times - just win. [/QUOTE]
