I’m in my early-mid 30’s, so I’ve never had high hopes for our football team. I was too young during the McNabb years to really know what was going on.  I’ve always expected that we’re never going to be a top 10 team because you just can’t recruit the dogs you need to a private school up north, in a state with virtually no home-grown talent to pick from, particularly linemen.  I have a big disconnect with football fans who seem to expect that the program will get back to some kind of prominence.  I expect .500 and consider anything better than that a pleasant surprise.

Basketball is obviously a different story.  My first actual memories of watching games are circa 2000 or 2001.  So the championship in 2003 spoiled me.  I thought we’d be winning a championship every 10 years or so.  That could be influencing my belief that Syracuse will get back to that level in the not-too-distant future.  FWIW, it’s easier to compete in basketball than football.  NIL is still a huge unknown, but Cuse has one of the largest fanbases and a good amount of wealth to pull from with the right combination of factors.  We don’t have to climb a mountain to be relevant again.  It’s more like a medium hill.
