I am about as pessimistic as you can get when it comes to Syracuse teams -- and generally way too critical of kids that are 18-22 and are going to make mistakes.

That being said, a win is a win is a win. As Al Davis said, "JUST WIN, BABY". And Syracuse has won four times in six games this year.

They also have defeated Wake Forest -- who now are in the hunt for an ACC championship after a big-time win over Florida State yesterday. They beat Toledo, who is the odds-on favorite to win the MAC after pummeling both Temple (a decent team) and E. Michigan. And the team was also one play (a catch from Foster in the end zone, P. Thomas' missed pick six, etc.) away from being 5-1 and having defeated Rutgers, who oh-by-the-way just handily beat Pitt yesterday.

Are we a perfect team? Absolutely not. Is the play calling less than imaginative a lot of the time? Yes. Is the defense infuriating at times? Yes. But the fact remains that the team is 4-2 and in a position to pull off a huge win over a ranked opponent at home after a bye week that should have the players rested, relatively healthy and ready to go.

I understand that these forums are for complaining and venting about the "warts" of our team -- I am as guilty as anyone of doing that. But we have a winning team that's only going to get better in the coming years -- let's try to do our best to support them and be positive!
