I'm old enough to recall the good years here but the relentlessness of the soul crushing losses and resultant pounding down of the psyche the last 16 years, yes with the occassional bone of hope thrown our way to frankly make it all worse; well I started to think anything even approaching the glory days were gone for good. Well thank God for HCDFB and all he represents and has brought here because I have news for the rest of country that Syracuse football is on its way back. It's tempting to say IS 100% back because the nature of the Clemson victory was so thorough and no fluke. If you had told me we'd beat them with getting no turnovers, overcoming bad refs, having little to no gimmick plays I'd not have believed it. But it did happen. Statistically speaking we dominated them. Physically speaking we dominated them. No fluke. Welcome back to relevancy Cuse nation and Cuse football. The mountain top has not been reached yet, I know that, the mountain side still need be traversed as there a long way to go before becoming consistently good vs occassionally great as there's going to be many more soul shaking moments of doubt and concern. But the overall trend line is nothing but up my Cuse friends in the big picture perspective. Yes there will be peaks and valleys but we can realistically say, finally after all these years, that the future looks bright. HCDFB has shown its possible once more, it's possible to be competitive with the best, it's possible to beat them once in a while, and just as importantly it's possible to be at least competitive with ANYBODY on the schedule. And that bring us to Miami. It's going to be a hurculean challenge this weekend no doubt, but after Friday can anybody bet against us having a shot? Guess what, no they can't. That's because Syracuse football is back my friends. [/QUOTE]
