Message: [QUOTE="ChrisLords, post: 3722811, member: 8012"] [HEADING=2]"How Is SU Thought of in the ACC?"[/HEADING] As a VT fan, who remembers our battles in football from 1995-2003, I probably have a higher opinion of Cuse sports than the other ACC schools that have only shared a conference with you for a short period of time. In basketball, Cuse is easily a top 10 program. In fact, I've seen the stats from Cuse fans posting on the [URL='https://www.csnbbs.com/forum-351.html']csnbbs.com[/URL] and cuse is really 1 or 2 championships away from being a consensus blue blood. Cuse measures up in every other metric to UNC, Duke, Kansas, and Kentucky. Prior to Boeheim having some wins removed y'all were 5th in all time wins and are still 6th. Football is a different matter, I expect Cuse to struggle as all other North Eastern programs do from lack of available talent in the region. I think you should keep Dino even if he has a few down years. He's proven that if he can find a good QB that Cuse can win 10 games in the ACC coastal even when Clemson and FSU are good. That's a pretty high bar. But then I also think VT should keep Fuente and most message board posters seem to be calling for his head. Lacrosse - Cuse is an all time power but VT doesn't have a men's team so I don't really watch it outside of the championship game. I love sharing a conference with Cuse and hope the renovations and renaming of the Dome will end the curse that VT suffers from every time our football program plays there. I expect Cuse to be able to compete for a final four in any given year in the Men's NCAA tournament as it seems y'all make it in some unexpected years. The last being great because you came back from way down to beat UVA in the final minute. So anyway, I think most ACC fans see Cuse as a blue blood equivalent in basketball who's been pretty average for a few years now and that Boeheim is experiencing a Frank Beamer or Bobby Bowden type of need to retire but will probably coach until his son graduates. And in Football, expect a 10 win season every few years with Babbers. Best of luck to y'all and I expect to see you in the NCAA tourney. [/QUOTE]
