Message: [QUOTE="elimunelson, post: 22461, member: 615"] You are right on. It's a team, and an alumni base, that is happy winning on a consistent basis and there is no pressure to build a team that HAS to win championships. That's why Tom O'Brien was there for over 10 years. He won his 8 games, he got them to bowl games and he kept them out of trouble. The leadership at BC considers that a win. I have no scientific data and i'm way too lazy to look it up but i have seen their recruiting go up in the past 7 years or so based on the guys they are after and their competition for those names. They have brought in some big time QB recruits and have been able to attract talent from Jersey. Again, BC is a good comp for Syracuse from the standpoint that we should have no problem getting back to that 8 win plateau if we continue recruiting smartly, keep Marrone in the fold and spend the new ACC cash on upgrading our facilities.
