Message: [QUOTE="IthacaBarrel, post: 749741, member: 363"] Getting a good start to the season would help quite a bit, say 3-0, 4-0 and then some solid home games that we actually win. We had some people getting fired up in Marrone's second season ( three years ago) but then we just kept getting waxed at home, Pitt game comes to mind, the WVU game on Friday night two years ago was a great night to be a Syracuse football fan, good crowd, great game. When you start like garbage the casual fanbase says same old same old. We were in a pretty good spot after the WVU game two years ago and then just absolutely the bed, we were 5-2 and looked like we were building something after the 7-5 season. That was a very rough stretch, wasn't my finest hour The last 6-7 games of last year was the best stretch of Syracuse football played in 12 years and nobody cared because we started like such . Somebody would have a hard time convincing me we weren't a legit top 25 team the last6-7 weeks of the season, the problem is nobody cared because of the start. People still view Syracuse as a perennial loser, its crazy and very frustrating. I Live it everyday at my office, etc as I am sure many do. I have three of my old trucks that are still with the company (delivery beaters) they all have Syracuse football stickers on the bumper, I will not let anyone take them off no matter who asks. People just arent interested in Syracuse football anymore as they are basketball, the people at my company think I am crazy Schedule the right way, 2 cream puffs, create the buzz with a good start not some and mirrors. If Syracuse started with a 61-0 win versus Wagner and then a 42 -13 win versus Tulane things would feel and look a hell of a lot better. It's all in the scheduling, as far as the casual fan base is concerned the season was over in Evanston, beating PSU would have been nice too! SU would have t0 beat Clemson and get to say 4-2 or 5-2 to create any type of buzz and those odds aren't 2:1 [/QUOTE]
