Message: [QUOTE="OrangeCrush22, post: 1014805, member: 620"] FSU was an all-girls school from 1905 til 1947. '47 was the first year they played football. They had moderate success in the 60's under Bill Peterson but it wasn't until Bowden's second year, '77, that they took off. Mimi had sporadic success from the 30's to 60's. In the 70's they were terrible. It wasn't until Schnellenberger's second year, '80, that Miami started to win consistently. Syracuse had more early success (I just noticed SU never accepted a bowl invite until 1952, despite being eligible often) and sustained it over longer periods of time. Basically they've accomplished more, but over a shorter period of time, that was my rationale. [/QUOTE]
