Message: [QUOTE="Shenexon, post: 1118893, member: 129"] This is a great board and group of people. I just wish for all of you that things can stay in perspective. We all have much more important things in our lives than what any single game offers for discussion. Personally, it's more tragic that Orangeyes wasn't able to make the game than that we almost lost to Villanova. I'm more disappointed I wasn't able to join you at the game than in the failings of the team. I think it's wonderful that so many people were able to come together to celebrate Syracuse Football and the opportunity to be together for such a superb event. The team's performance was not what any of us had hoped for, but sometimes process is more important than result. A few hundred people make the football program happen and make a positive and dynamic impact on central New York and many thousands of us around the country. The kids that play the game are really young and are a work in progress, personally and as a group. The wonderful thing is that most of them have the opportunity to attend a great university even though football for them is just the means for them and not likely to be a career. The efforts of a few hundred impact many thousands of others. It's very cool. Lastly, I'd like to hope that we could honor Orangeyes by treating each other with respect. Sometimes the personal attacks here are over the top. Many of you are great analysts and understand the x's & o's better than most of us. I really appreciate your perspectives and don't blame you for being disappointed, but don't overlook the benefits of the community created by being fans of SU sports. It's a great good and more important than individual games, player performances, coaching, or prospects for the season. I still hope for a great year and look forward to what these kids and coaches can accomplish. Growth is a wonderful thing. One game doesn't make a season and prospects can change for the better. Go SU and war damn orangeyes! [/QUOTE]
