Perhaps altogether we should stop looking at other programs, and realize that Syracuse has its own set of circumstances/obstacles/positives and look at the scenario based on that.  Our expectations of this team should be based on nothing but the circumstances that surround the Syracuse football program.  I mean if you want to say for every one coach that has  succeeded on a long term project, one has failed, then, while this year has been a disappointment and a step backwards, I'll still take those odds based on the overall product (the entire 3 years, not just looking at this season) I've seen so far.  Again, that's not saying everything is picture perfect.  But my expectations are different from some.  And before I'm accused of "accepting mediocrity," I just didn't expect huge things from the team this year after losing what we lost last year and numbers gap that existed for upper classmen due to the defections once Marrone signed on.  I'm just as frustrated as anyone watching the last three games and my wife is equally frightened as the rest of your wives when we're all throwing things in a fit of temper tantrums mid-games, but in the long run, I just didn't expect that much and would still like to see 2 more years of the program under Marrone.

You saying that people are burying their head in the sand doesn't it make it so.  I haven't read too many posts from people that don't recognize that this team has some critical issues.  Most recognize the past 3 games as a step backwards, but it has yet to be seen exactly how that effects the long-term.

I just wonder how many different ways people can say the same thing over and over again.
