You are clearly an old goat, and I respect and admire that.

You also need to grasp that the younger fans today (the ones that will continue buying a greater share of the tickets), consider RU an actual enemy in football (enough of the internet BS... it's turned into NY vs NJ).  It would be great if we still got to play WVU and VT every year because they also bring distaste to one's mouth, but unfortunately, we will likely never play WVU again outside of a bowl game and VT we get once every 6-7 years because of ACC play.

The baby boomer time of SU football was fun, for those who got to experience it.  For people under the age of 40 (many here), Rutgers is way closer to a football "rival" than Ped St.  Pitt and BC are just not candidates IMO.  If we could go back to playing WVU and VT every year, sign me up.

No need to discredit someone though for not taking into account the success of SU over Rutgers in the pre-2000's.  I mean, hell, look at how much of a player China has become in the world economy.  60-70 years ago, no one would've thought their rise would've been that intense, that quickly.

Times do change, Grasshopper.
