For better or worse, I *expect* basketball to be good, I *hope* football is good each year.
Right now at least I know Fran can get to 10 wins if he can land the right portal guys / have the right QB. I will say, the post-Angeli part of this season has made me pause on that.
Our basketball brand should still have clout. We seem to have the support to bring in talent.
I guess I was just spoiled. I was born in '79, so my memories of Cuse athletics really start in the mid 80s and go onward. And when I was a kid / going to high school, it was great having a competitive football and basketball team. Then I was at SU as a frosh in '98, McNabb's senior year / the junior year for J Hart/Etan on the bball team. I remember being pissed by both teams (football had that BS loss to Tenny which we got ref'd, but they also lost to WVU and NCSU and I thought that was the end of the world, the orange bowl we were outclassed) and the bball team was in the 8/9 game and lost to Okie St.
I was LITERALLY disappointed by those season outcomes! How absurd to think about that now! I would take those years for the football and basketball teams in a heartbeat now.
