I feel the frustration & share it.  Similarly situated in that next year will be my 45th year going to games less a year or two for school, jobs, & kids.  What I don't share is the thought that I might not buy tickets.

As bad as the season has been, progress is not always linear.  I do see improvement & I know SU is committed.  It will work out over time either with Doug or someone else.  New facilities are coming and the notion that we'll drop down a level officially became silly once we got into the ACC.

For me SU is like the Green Bay of college football -- we are where we are because of history & dedicated fans.  A place like Syracuse couldn't create the brand we have if we were just starting out in football today.  Like Green Bay, we are an historical accident & we need to appreciate how lucky we are to have the athletic program we have.

I would never fault someone who decides not to spend money on what has been a mostly unwatchable product this year.  I would never say you're not a true fan.  What I would say is that my decision is to support (& criticize) in the belief that SU is as committed as I am & things will improve.

I'm not naive & I haven't drank the Orange flavored Kool-Aid.  I've just decided as a townie & a grad SU football deserves my support.
