Yeah, but we have many, many, many legends.
 
Okay - One school has a Lawrence Taylor and one has Johnny Unitas.  Heck, Rutgers has Paul Robeson.
 
But I'm not talking about isolated examples.
 
I'm talking about many, many all-time greats - the best at their positions - Mackey, Jim Ringo, Walt Sweeney, Jim Brown, Gary Anderson, Harrison, Ernie Davis, Csonka, Johnston, Freeney  - even Jim Nance - and on and on.
 
We have had all-time great coaches - Schwartzwalder, Howard Jones, Bud Wilkinson, Biggie Munn, Ossie Solem - even Nick Saban and Jim Tressel for gosh sakes.
 
We have many high profile Bowl games - Orange Bowls, Cotton Bowls, Fiesta Bowls and on and on.
 
We have what many [including Lee Corso] consider the greatest college football team of all time - 1959 (a team that gave up 180 yards rushing - for the entire season!) 
 
I'm not dismissing other schools.
 
I am pointing out that when one looks at the entire history of SU Football one sees a program that is way up there - far beyond most schools, including NC, Louisville, NCST, Wake, UVA and many otherss. 
 
So, I feel pretty good about SU Football right now - money and tradition.
