I grew up in Syracuse and was mostly indifferent to Orange football until I was 23. I paid some attention when I was a kid and completely lost interest between 2005 and 2008.
 
Then, a friend of mine had a spare ticket to the Rutgers game in 2009. That game was so much fun to watch, so exciting, so convincing that SU was going to come back, that I joined TOS two days later. That fall, I bought season tickets.
 
Now, I live for Syracuse football. I talk about it with anyone I see wearing Division 1 college gear here in NYC.
 
It is possible to turn around the indifference, the malaise. Now, it may have been easier to capture my attention and my imagination than it may be for many locals.
 
But I really think a 9 and 3 or a 10 and 2 season with a big win four or five weeks in would really get people interested again.
 
It's not a desire to stay home or rake leaves. It's the desire to be a part of something that everyone is talking about and everyone is excited about that will get people back to the Dome.
