I don't mind the national us against them perception.  And I hope it can help focus the team.
 
What I would like to get rid of is the feel of playing an away game.  SU won the right to play in the East.  Implied in that right were games like they were at MSG, not like the ones at Gampel.  That was a brutal Gampel game day like deal - I don't so much care that the announcers and studio were all UNCA- but that arena wanted UNCA bad.   That was a good road win for our boys.  Hostile environment.
 
I would like to see that stop pronto.  I hope KState doesn't get the crowd.  That should be ours.  We earned it, 31-2 style.  Get us to Boston and let us get our earned advantage back for the big boys - good luck to Wisky or Vandy out-representing us there.  However, I think we may have another awayish game on our hands vs KState.  Looks like we may have lost the independent rooters to an anyone but SU vote.
 
I think the crowd influence can be underestimated.  2010 was Buffalo - then they sent us away.  2003 Albany. 
 
Our bracket plays to us getting the crowd in the big games (if we can make it).  I think in Boston we would get a big SU following, and we deserve it.  I think that should favorably affect the odds for further advancement.
