Message: [QUOTE="orangefan13, post: 667818, member: 906"] First off syracuse was a basketball school that grew into a football school. Syracuse basketball won 2 national championships in 1917 and 1925 in basketball. They also went 12-0, 10-1, 15-2, 18-2, 14-2, 15-2, 15-2, 23 -4 on top of those helms years, and I could go on for another 25 years. They had a total win percentage of 841% from 1911-1920. From 1932-1939 another stretch of 80.5%. A grand total win percentage of 76% from 1911- 1942 including the bad years . Thats really really really really did I mention REALLY amazing when you think about it. We also had the 87 game as a 4th title if it wasn't for lack of bonus on the 1 and 1 freethrows. Football only has one title by comparison. And you could aruge 1996 was down to the wire before Wallace fouled out with 4 to play against the best college basketball team ever. On top of that they have reached the sweet 16 before being beat 12 times. Which means not 16th but [U]possibly 9th or 10th in the country 12 times[/U]. And the elite 8 before being beat 3 times giving the a 5-8 ranking 3 times. That to go with their 5 final fours. Footballs ranking resume is probably nowhere near as good. And thats just in the last 30-40 years of the ncaa tournament. And I haven't even begun to get into all our seeding before the tournament all the times we had a 1-4 seed and didn't make it to the sweet 16 in the last 40 years with injuries and sicknesses and a bad game, refs or matchup. Not to mention the syracuse nationals pro basketball team which became the 76ers , football wasn't even close to having a pro team in syracuse. Given all that its laughable to think that football could even attempt to argue in syracuse. Still, :D We are both a basketball, football and a lacrosse school. Arguing this won't make any difference in either program. [U]Again, just ask the florida gators 5-6 years ago who probably had fans doing the same. They won both titles.[/U] Instead get out and support both like Jim Brown and Mcnabb! [IMG]http://bazingawebdesign.com/sites/default/files/bazinga_logo.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
