I remember going to games at the Verizon back in the day, until DB Lee Reed (and Verizon management) started manipulating the ticket process - excluding Syracuse fans by giving seats away to the homeless or bundling the game into "3-ticket" packages. They couldn't fill half the Verizon even when the team was (rarely) good - so SU fans predominated there. Pre-game beers at Clydes, etc...

Now Pollin is gone, and his successor (Leonsis, GT grad) sold out to Capital One. But don't think for a minute that GT has grown any character.

At the GT-SU Dome game in December, there was a GT "dad" sitting in front of my section with his two kids. You could tell he was GT because he had his collar up (who does that anymore?), and one of his sons was carrying a sign that read: "Got 101 Wins Boeheim?". Nice way to represent your alma mater and teach your kids about sportsmanship and good taste. lol.

I'd let them rot. We don't need them.

What is a Syracuse fan's favorite color?
