You are welcome.

Again, I disagree.  Check out the 1981-82 team.  They finished the season 16-13.  Generally considered JB’s worst team.  This team has a lot more talent than that one.  This team is about in the middle of the ACC in talent.

I think some people become emotional and say things that make no sense after a bad loss.  The team played poorly.  No question about that.  It doesn’t mean that they are the least talented team in the last 120 years.  Or the last 40 for that matter.

This team has had to deal with circumstances no Syracuse team has since at least 1918 (the pandemic of 1918 started in February of 1918.  The 1917-18 team finished the season shortly after it was starting.  They were the best team in the country, lost only one game, which was avenged.

They have had 3 likely victories at home taken away by the pandemic and it has affected the team in many negative ways.  Strange things are going to happen during a pandemic.  I suggest you calm down and give the kids a chance to get things together.  There are still a lot of games to be played and the story of the season has not been told yet.
