Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 2589003, member: 780"] Actually what he said was that there have been more hard periods than good ones. And he is technically correct if you are just counting by period or era. He does this by not counting the late 1950's and the 1960's. The 70's were generally awful, except for the 1979 team which was quite good and had a bunch of very good players (Art Monk, Joe Morris, Craig Wolfley and Bill Hurley) The early 1980's had some teams with winning records (6-5). The late 1980's through the 1990's were second period in which SU teams were very good pretty consistently. Since then we seem to have been mediocre some years at best. What the late 1980 and 1990's establish is that SU can have a very good football program. It's not like we have never been consistently good for a stretch of years. But the idea that the last 17 years have been some sort of unusual period doesn't hold water. [/QUOTE]
