It really grinds my gears that their fans and bloggers are bemoaning who they got clobbered by. I realize that our perception is that of a bottom feeder program, and we have more than earned that reputation in recent years. It's also true that they have had our number, big time (as have most other ACC teams, sadly). Trust me, I'm well aware of all of that.
Still, they laughingly seem to view themselves as the '72 Dolphins. Hey Cards: we went 5-7 last year. You went only 6-6 and then lost your NIT-level bowl. Your coach has been talked about as being on the hot seat. You are the dirtiest team we have faced in quite awhile, and even that didn't save you. You are a legend in your own mind.
It was a big win for SU both from the standpoint of margin of victory as well as the fact that winning a conference game is not remotely an everyday thing for us. But the fact is that you guys are really not good enough to having a fainting spell over losing to SU. We are not Bama, but you should get used to losing a whole bunch of games this year because your team doesn't match your overblown self-image. It did not last year, and it does not now. All your cheap hits, leg twisting, and other extra-curricular activity in the pile won't work against anyone else on your schedule any better than it did against SU. I'd circle that James Madison game because that will be your Super Bowl. Then you can whine about losing to them too.
