[Orange Gun]

Pretty solid grade for a team the lost their head coach & starting QB along with others. Says a lot about the direction of the program!

Orange Gun Welcome to the board...I figured a B is about right. Several horrific blowouts marred an otherwise solid season for a rebuilding team with a new head coach and almost entirely new staff.

Next year I think we are on the path for 8 regular season wins...we really need a breakout season though (9 or 10 regular season wins) to get Top 25.

Thanks TexasMark! I have been a regular visitor but never posted, plan to partake more often being that i can get a chance to see the ORANGE teams up close & personal now that they are in ACC (I live in Atlanta)!

I struggle with giving Tulane an A.

I struggle with giving Tulane an A.

And Minnesota an A-.

But I guess the grades are all relative.

This just validates that massive thread before the Bowl game. 8 win seasons culminating in a second/third tier Bowl loss is an A- season at Minnesota.

A seven win season with a win in the same Bowl game is a B here. In 1999, the same result would be a C-.

The expectation for the Syracuse ceiling is, has been and always will higher than it is for the Golden Gophers.
