Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 2897, member: 622"] Much of what you guys are saying is true, but Syracuse will revive its fan base with winning and maybe some marketing across the state. Here in Houston, U of Houston gets no respect unless they are winning, they have small attendence and they have far more graduates than Syracuse does. Add to that that the Houston Metro is 5-6 million and you can get a better feel for Syracuse fandom. It really is not that bad for a smaller metro (less than 1 million). Yes, most Houstonians cheer for UT or TAMU, but they take Rice and U of Houston for granted, unless they are winning, and most UT and TAMU fans have never attended either university. By the way, there is more to do around here in the fall than there is in CNY (better weather). [/QUOTE]
