Syracuse Game
- Thread starter Andrew
- Start date
Everyone always seems to forget this simple fact. People in NYC, Queens and Long Island actually have lives. So when we go into this Dec. 15th tilt at an unimpressive 6-2, who is going to blame the casual fan for not going? People around here have other things to do. Unlike those in the Cuse area who look forward to these games and that's about it. I actually feel kind of bad for them in that respect. Yeah, you have the better program, but your life is completely lame once the clock hits 0:00. Being in the Queens/Manhattan area is great, but if you don't produce solid results, most people are going to find something better to do with their time until you prove yourself worthy.
I don't disagree, Sirvoo, as far as the casual fan goes. But don't we have 10-15,000 hardcore fans in the NYC are who make it their business to get to a Dt. John's-Syracuse matchup? We should be as hungry for tickets as the Cuse fans are.
Honestly, if I'm not at that game (no tickets yet), I will be home watching. Life ceases to exist for those 2 1/2 hours anyway.

Why would you claim to be a great fan, yet not make sure that Red shirts are occupying those seats instead of Orange? I understand financial constraints, but this isn't a game to sit at home while Syracuse takes over the building, which I hesitate to call ours until we reclaim it. If you stay at home you can blame yourself for watching an away game as 14,000 Syracuse fans take over MSG.
I agree...Understand that the casual fan will not jump on bandwagon until it is at full speed...But, if you're a real fan (and especially a season ticket holder) of the Johnnies, you get to the game unless you simply can't ($, work, family etc...)...Part of the attraction for recruits is a rabid fan base...if we can't even get season ticket holders to the game, doesn't look good
Beast, I don't have season tickets this year and I've checked online for tickets. While, due to personal reasons it would be a financial hardship, I have every intention to be there. Unless it is completely sold out and I can't get any tix, I intend to be there, I went to just about every home game since mid way into the Norm administration. I've traveled to Uconn, Providence, Rutgers, seton Hall and Georgetown in the past few years. I urge every fan to make any games possible. Tickets versus Cuse are hard to find and expensive but I still plan to be there.
My only point was that having other options in NYC shouldn't be the reason why a true fan doesn't attend a big game like Cuse. I've passed up birthday parties for SJU games. Only a wedding or funeral would be a priority for me (only because I don't want to be judged by those who would notice my non-appearance).

Seats available on thegarden.com or can go through school- so not sure why people are waiting when tickets are available right now. Unless you have financial hardship you should be at this game or go root for another team then.
Unless Binghamton pulls the biggest upset of all time, Syracuse should be a top 5 team for the game against us.

Honestly, if going to a game becomes a financial hardship, I don't see any compelling reason to pay inflated prices in order to be there. I misunderstood your post. There are more important things than paying $200 for a good seat to SJU-Syracuse - like bills.

A Mike Jarvis fan I see!
How many points did they beat St. Francis by at home?
I hope the red I see is in the Orange fans faces at the end of the game.
Exactlyyyyyy Every game in the first 5 minutes we`re always down, we struggle against Monmouth and Longwood. Were down by 15pnts against both Penn St. and Ga Tech.
The way we`re playing Syracuse will be up 20+ with 5minutes to go and they`ll try to clown on us with a dunk afest.
So tell me, why should I spend $40 (which are the cheapest seats), getting pissed with out play, and Syracuse having a good old time and laughing at our expense, hearing their damn chants.
I`m not going through that sorry. Wish I had more confidence but I don`t. I pray that they make me eat crow.
You want to say that I`m not a true fan because of that then I guess I`m not.
If they beat Syracuse somehow, then I won`t say another negative thing about SJU and Lavin as that alone would make my season even if they didn`t win another game. Give me an early Christmas gift
I know, because I I won`t spend $40 to watch Syracuse spank my team, and watch their fan having a grand old time and yelling chants at our expense as every other year.
I guess you like Syracuse fans rubbing it in your face. That`s another reason I wont go, I`ll snap and brawl with them. I really had enough of them over the last few years.
