There are only two things that will bring the fans back and some of you will hate to hear one of the reasons. 
[LIST=1]
[*]Win.  Now that we have an interesting style of team they just need to win.
[*]Play Michigan and Tennessee instead of Central Michigan and Middle Tennessee.

Don't wanna hear the "But we can't do #1 AND #2!  Everybody plays some crap teams in order to reach bowl eligibility and that is SOOOO important."  I love SU but if we had made a bowl game with wins against Central Conn St, Middle Tennessee, Central Michigan, Pitt, BC and Wake it wouldn't mean much to me.  Fans don't want to pay all the money it costs to watch crap teams/schools.  And they really don't want to see them lose to said schools.  I hope Dino can get us there.

I vividly remember the 1979 season when SU made the Independence Bowl, the first in many years and started to bring the program out of irrelevance.  It was a small bowl against a nothing team but it was the journey that made it worthwhile. T o get there SU beat WVU, Northwestern, Washington St, Kansas and Miami.  Throw in losses to Ohio St, Penn St and ultimately #4 Marino led Pitt.   It is kind of ironic to me that with a schedule like that SU did not play a single home game due to Dome construction.
