Many of us grew up with SU football being good, and can't miss events.

But in reality, times have changed -- and so have the options for which people can consume sports.  TV broadcasts are hi def, and sports feeds are readily accessible -- so some people prefer watching in the convenience of their homes.

Sports bars weren't as big of a thing back in the day, certainly not back in the 80s [less so in the 90s].   But that's another alternative for some people.

Add in the fact that for the better part of a quarter century, the program has been down, and you've got an entire generation of fans who grew up not being obsessed with SU football.

And for the casual fans -- the seasons that we've been good have been so infrequent over that 24 year stretch, that many of them don't give a hoot.

Winning is the only thing that will create change, and make football games must-attend events again.

And even then, we aren't going to sell out every game.  But if we can get to 90% for the bad games, we'll be cooking with gas again.
