Message: [QUOTE="cuse309, post: 1603439, member: 5119"] I agree on the scheduling. I'm sure it's an unpopular opinion, but haven't we gotten to that point? We are so irrelevant in CFB right now, yet some people scoff at the idea of padding the schedule a bit as a means to an end. I hear a lot of, "the hottest fires make the strongest steel" talk, but my answer to that is, "How has that philosophy helped us in any way so far?" There are, 9, I believe, teams in CFB that haven't had a 9 win season since Syracuse's last 9 win season. Yes we are one of them. Yet, somehow a lot of people feel it's beneath us to schedule down just to build some momentum. I don't think Dukes football fans will complain about 10-4, 9-4, and possibly 8-5 this year. It's a means to an end, and can build momentum. Winning is contagious. Losing by 10-30 points to powerhouses is not contagious. I'm sure many will disagree, but that's my opinion. [/QUOTE]
