Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 865115, member: 173"] Absolutely. NC State fans were shocked they lost to a crappy team like Syracuse. Same with Maryland. And Minnesota. I watched the Texas Bowl with a friend from Wisconsin who asked how long it had been since Syracuse was last in a bowl that was stunned when I said last year. Yes, we beat West Virginia and Louisville...but in the average fan's mind that was confirmation of how awful the Big East was, NOT evidence Syracuse was a decent program. It's not a matter of fans not seeing Syracuse as being relevant because they haven't been rank - the average fan thinks we've continued on with sub-500 seasons unabated since the GRob era. Big difference. We are going to need to beat a team like a Florida State, Clemson, maybe Notre Dame - to finally get some positive attention. Even at that we'll need a ten win season with no national TV blowouts to gain some traction. [/QUOTE]
