All the best answers are in the thread, just not grouped in the way I think were most impactful.

1) Vick.  I truly believe we make a top 5/national title run with him in 2000 if he came to SU. Our defenses from 199-2001 were loaded.  Vick would have made the O lethal.  Despite the other institutional issues, we would have been teed up for a much better 2000s if Vick played at SU.

2) Shaw’s financial neglect.  Sucking money out of the athletic department and pumping into our university operations was shameful.  At a time when all of our regional rivals were gearing up for the arms race, SU fiddled while it’s facilities burned. Total malfeasance by the administration.

3) Rutgers loss 2003 and Temple loss, 2004.  We don’t have a GumpRob era if P wins these two lay ups.  The 2004 one is particularly awful, since we’d have gotten a BCS payday.  P may have been jettisoned after 2005 or 2006, and Gross may still have made a bad hire, but literally no one could’ve been worse than Robinson, and I think he’s off the table if another year or two passes.
