Syrcause, with 50 years of futility? Or Pitt, with 30 years of being pretty much irrelevant?

And why would the Big 12 want ND? They have been irrelevant for just as long.

Maybe tradition just might mean something? Hmmm.

Notre Dame's title 12 years after Pitt's last title. Finished #2 less than 20 years ago. So- just stop with the just as long crap because that's all that it is.

50 years?

In the last 50 years we've gone to a BCS bowl. We've gone undefeated. We've finished ranked many times. We've produced a ton of NFL talent. We've produced numerous NFL HOFers. Same with Pitt.

Don't delute this thread with actual facts. Some just don't want to hear it unless it leads to FSU & Clemson to the Big 12.

Syracuse past 50 years- been in the top 10 postseason exactly twice. That's hardly relevant.

Pitt past 30 years- has NEVER been in the top 10 postseason poll. That's not relevant.

What actual facts can you give me that show that Pitt hasn't been in the postseason top 10 in the last 30 years? Those are the FACTS buddy. The highest Pitt was ranked in the last 30 years- #3 preseason 1984. They finished 1984 3-7-1. THOSE are the fact. Your school may have produced the talent and HOF's- but that talent hasn't done crap.

Ahhh yes... The last time anyone remembers Syracuse football doing anything on the national scene...


I wish I'd have saved my AMC ticket stub. This was one for the ages... next to "We are Marshall" and "Glory Road" in my DVD favorites.

I having recent players like McNabb, Freeney, Harrison, Fitzgerald, Revis, McCoy, etc. mean you suck.

Syracuse football has been largely irrelevant in recent memory. What present recruits know anything about McNabb, other than the fact that he hung around the game too long?

They had those players, but what did they do with those players? To not be top 10 in 20 years(for Syracuse) or 30 years(for Pittsburgh)- that's a joke.

This is Syracuse football in the minds of High School recruits.

I can't imagine what they do when Houston, UCF, and Temple come up.
