Message: [QUOTE="JHarris44, post: 1476319, member: 4858"] I'm an out of town die hard fan but casual in the sense of going to games. Typically trek up for a basketball game 2 out of every 3 years and catch things all MSG and was at the Notre Dame Met Life game (There were more SU fans there than on Saturday). My fellow friends who are alumni and fans don't have much of an interest in SU football for what that's worth. It started with our feeling of how Coach P had all the talent in the world and the program slipped from there and never truly recovered. I'm a believer, though, and have been ever since - liked Marrone a lot and Shafe even more. Went up for the game on Saturday (4, 4.5 hour drive; stayed over Friday night) and was blown away by how different the atmosphere is - the last game i attended in the Dome was in 2001 and was a freshman and sophomore for the Fiesta and Orange Bowl years so I know what it can be like in there and in the surrounding area regarding buzz and game day atmosphere and the whole thing. It certainly isnt that way any longer. I get that it was an early game, Rosh Hashana weekend (potentially limiting out of towners/alum) but boy was I surprised at how loud 26k (I admit i'm part of the problem b/c i repurchased tickets from a fellow syracusefan.com board member) fans can get. Sitting up in 302, we really enjoyed ourselves. Best view in the Dome, I think. I'm hoping Dungey is able to draw the people from both near and far. That kid is special with moxie and the "it" factor. (Have other thoughts on the game; maybe to post elsewhere). Not really sure what my point is here, but something has to change to draw the people. I'm not sure winning alone (unless we're a top 15 team) is going to do it. [/QUOTE]
