Message: [QUOTE="Dick_in_MI, post: 5457675, member: 225"] Do we have a tough climb this year? Of course we do. Still, I'm hoping for 7-5 (or better). If we can't even bat .500 however, we will lose a lot of the buzz and hype that the program gained from last year. If we can't even manage a bid in one of the 6-6 Participation Trophy Bowls, it won't be merely a matter of a few fans saying "Hey, no problem. Ya know...2026!" The view nationally and even within a portion of the fanbase will be "In 2024, despite a lousy defense, SU won 10 games via an easy schedule and the best passer in school history. Now that he (and others) are gone and the Orange had to face some real opponents, well it's back to the perception of 'same old, same old Syracuse " I really don't want to have that happen. [/QUOTE]
