I like your view as an extremist, and a true fanatic. Again, I was there with you, thought the same things, and utilized the same arguments when trying to convince others that things were better than they seemed. I think what you miss from my perspective however (and I truly hope you don't personally experience it) is that this has nothing to do with quitting. It doesn't even have to do with a choice. By "normal" people standards I am still a devoted fan... but I know the difference. I try to go to one or two games a year, instead of plotting out ways to hit every game possible. I do a sum up of the recruits at seasons end instead of taking a front row seat to for the day by day updates. And I read the board every couple of days instead of posting hourly. Syracuse got me into football (and basketball of course), but then at some point, my love of the sport started to rival the love of one particular entity, and finally we became a tough team to watch for so long that it became less enjoyable than watching combinations of games. I don't know where this puts me in the breakdown in fandom... but much more important than that rather trivial individual matter, is that I again have to ask how the school and the fans expect to keep the program moving in a positive direction when it does not seem all that easy to market it to someone with a past, knowledge, and room already full of Orange decor, let alone the newbie in search of instant gratification?
