[MadNY3]

1. The state of the program now versus the last time we did this is Fuccillo HUGEly improved.
2. The sex appeal of the job is up hugely over the past decade.
3. ACC prospects > Big East troubles
4. The recruiting class size is as small as it will be for a few years, so this is the year to have destabilization.
5. A leader like Jerome Smith seems ready for the challenge to persevere.
6. We can tell an incoming coach "Your first game is in [Giants Stadium] against Penn State. You ready?"
7. The facilities have gotten better. And I bet after this, they will keep getting better.
8. Bills fans...you got Marrone! Non-Bills fans: we can watch Marrone suffer or do well and ride the bandwagon accordingly.
9. Daryl Gross is running point and has sensed this could happen.
10. They still plan to sell beer in the Dome.

11. Rutgers can still GO POUND SALT.
12. The SU brass has now been "spurned" by a coach for a bigger gig. Hopefully SU steps up to the big boy table moving forward in regards to football.
13. Incredible momentum right now, players have "swag" - whatever that means.
14. Lots of very good young talent.
15. Tight-knit team.
16. Depth.
17. Future star players in the current recruiting class.
18. Ribbon boards.
19. Syracuse's getting lots of publicity with all of the noise.

The Cuse fans should have swag also. It's not every college whose coach is hired to become an NFL head coach. Some people are being very shortsighted about this and not realizing what the long term effects may be.


Of couse it's very difficult to gauge as the emotions runs the gauntlet from "we want Marrone to stay, he is great" to "we are glad for Marrone as he is great and its well deserved" to "he is great but needs to stay to complete what he started" to "he said this is his dream job so he is a backstabber and he is dead to us" to "he was just a .500 coach anyways so bye-bye". I'm sure I missed one or twelve.

Actually I should restate that, forgot they changed the format of the draft to the 1st round only being on the first day.

23. We'll have 2 first/second day draft picks for the first time in God knows how long, lol.
