I think Millhouse nailed it here, made a couple really good points.  I dont always agree with the Kaiser and Barrel but they made some good points about the locals and some that are way off base.  I think those Alumni who aren't local and especially those in NYC forget just how small Syracuse really is and how much of the population really isnt that interested in SU sports regardless of how the team is doing.  Barrel mentioned that a lot of the locals see SU as Ohio State and expect a winner, maybe thats true for basketball and even lacrosse to a smaller extent but for football that couldnt be further from the truth.
 
Most fans who still follow the program would take a winning record and any bowl game, thats a far cry from what Ohio State's expectations are and trust me no other SU fan here that I know compares SU to Ohio State in any capacity when it comes to football. 
 
As Milly noted right now theres a max of how many "local" fans we can get into the dome based on the issues this team has had for over a decade now.  As such we need those alumni from NYC and the other surrounding areas to show up to the dome to get the attendance into the mid and upper 40's.   As I have mentioned about a dozen times before bashing the locals on here doesnt do much if anything as the group of locals we are all trying to reach out to dont read this board.
