Message: [QUOTE="SUFan44, post: 5139357, member: 39"] In 1998, I truly believe Syracuse University’s football team could have competed against any team in the country. They took the eventual national champs to the wire, defeated the defending national champions on the road, and had the best player in the program since the 50’s and 60’s. The team hosted Rutgers - a nobody team at the time (and still is) - the week after the Michigan game. The crowd was 42,000. I say this because that team had buzz nationally, locally, and anywhere you could chat about college football. And the school still couldn’t sell out that game. Opponent matters in Syracuse. If we were playing Penn State or Clemson week one, it would be a sellout. Ohio could have 35-38K. Unless the marketing and ticket sales team has a complete overhaul, and we have a couple of very good years, I’m not sure what everyone here expects. It is what it is. [/QUOTE]
