[QUOTE="OrangeMojo, post: 241090, member: 268"]
if I'm not mistaken (and I may be) Townie was beating the drum after the first ACC expansion that SU football was doomed and should seriously consider dropping down to the Patriot League and give up on D1a football altogether - I think he was one of the main proponents of that line of thinking
 
well, now Syracuse is in the ACC and the future of the program and its status as a D1a program is secure - so now the negative drum beat has morphed into that Syracuse can't possibly compete at the BCS level
 
It seems clear to me that SU isn't that far off from being competitive with most BCS level programs - an when you're at that level and you get lucky with a Robert Griffin III type recruit then anything can happen.  A couple of upgrades in facilities and tweaks in coaching philosophy and SU is right there with most other BCS programs in the country.
 
So Townie is certainly entitled to his negative opinions, but just like in the previous version of them I continue to disagree on where it places SU in the overall landscape.
