I guess I just don't see your perspective at all.
 
We are coming off an 8-5 season with a bowl win and with a lot of returning players on both sides of the ball.
 
We are not going to sink in the ACC.
 
A few other thoughts.
 
BC is having an outstanding recruiting season under Addazzio - that did not take long.
 
We have yet to benefit from the ACC money or the new IPF.
 
We have what many in the ACC do not have - a tremendous college football heritage.
 
Duke, NC, NC State, MD, Wake, and others have simply not produced the likes of Ben Schwartzwalder or Bud Wilkinson or Howard Jones or Biggie Munn - or Tom Coughlin.
 
And they have not produced the best players at their positions of all time - Jim Brown, Jim Ringo, Gary Anderson, Marvin Harrison, Dwight Freeney, Walt Sweeney, John Mackey.
 
They have not produced Floyd Little or Ernie Davis.
 
They have not produced perhaps the greatest college team ever - 1959.
 
SU Football has succeeded for many years without the financial resources that so many in college football have had over the years.
 
Well, all that changes this year.
 
And there is nothing "narrow" about our window of opportunity.
 
The window is wide open.
 
We need to win but I see that as inevitable.
