Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 4720158, member: 1559"] I disagree. Syracuse basketball was clearly the #1 or #2 program in the Northeast at the time, but it was pretty clear that Syracuse football was in a LT decline. In the 5 seasons before they got an ACC invite, they were 21-40 overall and 8-27 in the Big East. Dino Babers in 7 years at Syracuse is 36-48 overall and 19-39 in the ACC. Sure, they had one good year, but the decline was in place before Babers got there. I think the biggest problem that Syracuse football has is that they don't attract the top Northeastern talent anymore. In the old days, many of those recruits were overlooked, but now they are not and they are going to the Big 10, SEC, and Notre Dame. [/QUOTE]
