OK, but the nightmare scenario is a 6-6 finish. Yes, we get a bowl but a bowl doesn't mean what it once did. There was a time when only good teams went to bowls and it was an acknowledgement of a solid season.

Now? There are way too many bowls and you can get into one by being a .500 team from a P5 conference. You barely need to have a pulse.

It gets worse, though. If you dig deeper into a 6-6 SU team this year, it gets pretty ugly. If we finish 6-6, it means we also finish 2-6 in the ACC. That further means that Dino will have had only a single ACC season above .500 in 8 years and five years at 2-6.

Makes a fan want to puff out their chest with pride, doesn't it? Sure, we suck vs our peer schools. Sure, we are guaranteeing ourselves left out when the inevitable rearranging of the conference deck chairs happens again. Sure, we are paying Dino many millions but don't care about results in a profession that is all about results. At least some former players have high character.

You know who else has high character? Graduates from my former academic department. I will be increasing my annual donation in that area.
