No reason to waste hours finding only the numbers that support your agenda, and ignoring the ones that don't.  Completely ridiculous.

In my lifetime as a sports fan, Minnesota football has ranged from bad to mediocre.  I don't ever remember them being "good".  Good meaning, winning or competing for the league title and going to a good bowl, ranked, etc.

Minnesota basketball has generally been mediocre, with a few good teams.  I remember them in the final 4 once with Bobby Jackson and Sam Jacobson.  Generally decent respectable, but never really on the radar.

Obviously Syracuse basketball has ranged from good to great for 35 years now.  Not even a comparision to be made with Minnesota as far as the levels the programs have been on, on the whole.

And Syracuse football has ranged from bad to mediocre to good.  We had our really bad stretch in the mid-late 00's.  We were usually pretty good and occasionally very good in the late 80's and throughout the 90's.  An undefeated season, 4 other 10 win seasons, Orange Bowl and 2 Fiesta Bowls, a top 10 finish, usually ranked, etc.  Minnesota football has never done any of those things in my lifetime.

There's really absolutely no comparison to be made.  I don't ever remember a really good Minneosta team in football, and like I said I remember ONE in basketball.  They are the epitome of Midwestern mediocre boringness.
