I realize their are supposed to be a bunch of Alumni up and down the coast that could theoretically show up in large enough numbers to warrant a Russel or Belk Bowl appearance but...last I checked we are still a small private school in upstate with poor attendance numbers. If this was basketball then sure but Alumni and Townies have yet to come together in large enough numbers to prove to bowls we will travel to a game.
 
Louisville is the better traveling football fan base for a southern bowl and Rutgers Big Ten announcement gives them the cache needed for the Russel. It will be between one of them.
 
The Pinstripe against West Virginia is the perfect opportunity for all the Alumni and Townies to come together and prove we can show up to a bowl game. No better scenario then a hot Syracuse and upbeat fan base playing a traditional rival in a city we claim to represent.
 
I personally prefer the Pinstripe and think that is where we ultimately end up  but an appearance in the Belk against a beatable Virginia Tech is enticing. Anyone else and I am 100% in favor of the Pinstripe Bowl even if not West Virginia. We can beat ACC teams in the south soon enough but this is our last shot at Pinstripe for a little while at least.

What is a Syracuse fan's favorite color?
