Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 259261, member: 19"] Yeah, but you're taking worst case. I think you don't give enough credit to SU fans. They may not come out in droves for some of the ACC teams, but I'd bet SU fans are more excited about the future schedules with Clemson, FSU, possible years of VT, Miami on the schedule than even any WVU game. Yeah, the Wakes and Dukes aren't going to bring them out. The UVAs, GTs, UNCs, NC States, Marylands might mean average crowds, but I still think casual and diehard fans would have more recognition of, and interest in, those names than the USFs, Cincys, Rutgers, UConns (football) of the world. Pitt and BC are what they are, not huge draws, but traditional opponents that still get more interest than what we're leaving behind. End of the day, as Scooch said, if we don't win it won't matter. But SU is located in an event driven city, ACC has more opportunities in football for event games than the 2005-2011 Big East ever did. [/QUOTE]
