So the last time we started 3-0 was 1991. 19-friggin-91.

If we can do our thing against CMU, this will be the first time Syracuse Football started 3-0 in 24 years. I was 8.

In today's Daily Orange piece about Dungey "learning on the fly", this excerpt blew me away:

He will be making his second career start in his third career game when Syracuse hosts Central Michigan on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. in the Carrier Dome. He’ll be trying to lead the Orange to its first 3-0 start since 1991 — five years before he was born.

Some fun facts about 1991:

  • George H.W. Bush was POTUS.
  • The Dow Jones Industrial Average topped 3,000 for the first time (currently 16,700)
  • The Fed Funds Rate was 6.5% (currently at 0%)
  • Operation Desert Storm in Kuwait
  • Boris Yeltsin becomes Russia's first free-election vote President
  • Cyclone in Bangladesh kills 200,000
  • The web browser is introduced and unrestricted commercial use of the "internet" is allowed
  • Number of computers on "the net" reaches 1 million
  • Kurt Cobain and Nirvana's Nevermind album commences the grunge scene in music
  • Beauty and the Beast, Hook and Terminator 2 are a few of the popular films out


Let's take care of the football, put up some points, knock their QB on his ass and end this 24 year 3-0 draught.

LGO.

You whippersnappers. I remember when the big talk was that the Dow would reach 1000. Seriously.
 
ahh yes, 1991...

I was 36 and heading into the last year of a really yucky marriage. Running a hotel in Princeton, NJ. Crappy year. Only two good movies - T-2 and Beauty and the Beast. Remember Thelma and Louise? What a piece of doo-dah.

1991, my Freshman year living over at Sadler. I was under the impression it would always be like that, and for 2 years it was.

Will never forget the Florida game that year to get to 3-0... the campus was electric after that win.

Was that the game Kirby Dar Dar took it to the house? I drove over from Albany to see that one. Yeah...electric.
 
I was a senior on the Hill. My god, what a weekend that was. September at Syracuse. Warm weather. No exam pressure. Game on. Oh yeah, and we beat Florida!
 
I hope we all get to experience this type of win.

"We had a bad plan today and Syracuse had a beautiful one,`` Spurrier said. ``I called a bad game and our players were outplayed by theirs up and down the line. We have no excuses. Syracuse is a much better team than us."
Is this game available anywhere online? Love to see it as I've never seen the video and being there was nothing other than an alcoholic haze of smiles remembering nothing.
