SYRACUSE -- Fans weren't exactly lining up to get Syracuse University football gear during a 3-9 season last year. But, that doesn't mean they won't this year.
"We're truly keeping our fingers crossed," said Kim Apergis, a sales rep at Papa's Sports Athletic Apparel on Park Street. "And we're waiting."
Apergis said the staff at Papa's is optimistic that new coach Doug Marrone, and new players like Greg Paulus will attract more excitement to the Orange this season.
"We're all looking forward to it," Apergis said. "We all think something's going to change around here. We've been waiting for Syracuse football to come back."
WAIT AND SEE
Apergis said many people come in a few weeks before the season, but when the team is bad sales numbers start to slip early on.
"In the beginning of the season it doesn't matter what they think is going to happen," she said. "Usually by the third or fourth game is where we see them dropping off."
