Thanks for another nice article. You clearly love to write and it's appreciated. I'm a believer that most successful enterprises are more art than science and successful sports teams are no different. History has always been affected by things outside of reason or calculation, and it regularly shows up in sports. It may just be good fortune or it may be another level of effort that some teams or players display. There will be many opportunities during this season for that kind of good fortune to show itself. Does this team have that magic ingredient that will make it successful? I'd rather believe yes and hope for their success than believe no and secretly hope they flame out.
 
Over the history of SU sports we've seen a lot of occasions where the teams have had a special something that brought victory from the jaws of defeat. I think that's what brings us all back as fans. My favorite game I attended as a fan was the win over #1 Nebraska. That victory was perhaps the most improbable of any we've ever had. Yet we won because of the superb effort by a bunch of overmatched players who believed in each other and brought that something extra to the game. I believe that this year provides a lot of motivation for the players, coaches, and fans to conclude our involvement with the Big East with gusto. Until they show me differently, I'm a believer. Syracuse Football will eventually become great again. This could be the year they start to show that promise and I want to be on board when it happens.
