The results beg to differ.

[URL="https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/syracuse/index.html"]Syracuse Orange Football Record By Year | College Football at Sports-Reference.com[/URL]

Since the end of WWII, let's call that 75+ years - Syracuse football has had 2 "glory years" segments, each of which lasted about 15 years or so:

Schwartzwalder/44 era
Mac/P era

ALL of the remainder we were meh, at best.  
And downright awful (o hai GERG!) at worst.

40% of the time Cuse football has been good, relevant, winning.  
60% of the time, we've sucked.  [I](2018 was a major outlier) [/I]

So, I'll ask it again:  which is the norm, and which is the exception?? 
The results make it pretty clear which is which. 
Especially for the past TWO DECADES.

Also - BOTH of those glory years eras were largely due to the fact that Syracuse gave African American athletes 
(RB's - the 44's;  and then QB's for Mac/P era) opportunities to play and shine, that many other programs did not.

We no longer enjoy that advantage either, and never will again.

I'm an optimist - but I'm also a realist.
