Appreciate all of the tidbits, both from the SU and JMU side. I’m also very familiar with the dukes and consider them my team behind Cuse. We may be the only dual SU and JMU fans around here.

Fran Brown has done more to energize this fan base than anything I’ve seen since the Clemson win. I remember thinking we would build off of that win and get involved with some bigger recruits but it really never came to fruition. With recruiting, it does really seem to come down to either “having it” or not (unless you’ve got a lot of NIL funds). Fran Brown certainly has it whereas I’m not sure any other coach in the last ~20 years here has. If he has half the coaching ability as he has recruiting ability, we are going to be a huge headache for our opponents moving forward. Turning around the negative mindset of Cuse football fans seems almost like a miracle but I really feel like everyone has and/or will buy in. It’ll either be a massive success story for the program or an enormous let down. I love taking a shot on a grand slam hire. I was a long time supporter of hiring Mullen but I don’t think he’d have the same juice in 10 days that Fran Brown has right now, which I believe says a lot because Mullen has some star power.

In summary, it just feels good to feel good about Syracuse football again! I’m letting my hopes get up again for this program.
