Message: [QUOTE="JeremyCuse, post: 352558, member: 43"] Honestly its not that hard to understand and has been explained here about 100 times. The same reason people in CNY don't go is the same reason a majority of NYC alumni dont go to games either, the program has been irrelevant for a decade plus and most people dont follow Syracuse football, at this point the diehards are really all that is left. People keep basing the locals and that we want to be catered to, worst fans ever, its nonsense. The people on this board who read these messages are the exact opposite of those fans we have season tickets, travel to away games and support the program despite all of the issues that have been documented here. King Otto's opinion on locals is ridiculous let me take the last 12 years of terrible win loss records, dissapointment, and snake bitten teams to any other program in the country and the same problems would be popping up there save for maybe Notre Dame. Cuse football in CNY right now isnt even an afterthought at this point, outside of us diehards most people in Syracuse dont even follow the program or know what a tailgate is. This same attitude holds true to the NYC alumni and fanbase as well so stop saying its a local issue alumni and fans from the city aren' t coming to the dome either, whats are they doing on Saturday's?. I dont get where people think theres some sort of state wide excitement about how the offense has looked in the first two games. 95% of the people excited about it are me and you and the rest of the die hard fan base. You think Joe local who isnt following the program has any idea where this team is headed outside of being 0-2? Does the casual fan understand whats happening and have renewed interest, maybe but the regular guy/girl off the street doesnt even know what the hell were talking about. The locals people keep bashing on here dont even know syracusefan.com exits and certainly aren't reading posts tellign them to get there asses to the dome. As I noted in a post earlier today most people dont follow the program, there not waiting for wins or reduced prices or USC in the dome they aren't coming period. [/QUOTE]
