Four Curses

[mw98gt]

Four curses have been avenged so far under Holtz:

1.  Win at Cincy (or anywhere against them).

2.  Beat Rutgers  (especially after being embarrassed by them the last few years)

3.  Win at UofL (finally)

4.  No mid-season collapse (good riddance)

unfortunately the good voodoo isn't in place anymore either.  dammit syracuse game.  we could be looking great right now

Yea, while we broke those curses, losing our lossless streak over SU hurts.

Who says coaching doesnt make a difference!  GO SKIP

Doug Marrone, Skip Holtz, and Charlie Strong - perfect examples of how programs can be turned around

Butch Jones, Steve Kragthorpe - perfect examples of how coaching can go bad

Don't forget winning on Wednesday night.

(still have the Thursday curse)

Yeah but it hurts less when you realize SU is a legitimate football team now and that it was Holtz's first BE game.

I'll trade a loss to SU for a Rutgers win any day.

Most of our curses are going down.  We still need to beat UCONN on the road next year and maybe defeat Erin Andrews.

I dont understand why people are so ashamed of the Syracuse loss.  they have turned it around and are a solid program.  Same with Louisville.. what a difference a coaching staff can make.

on the flip side, my god Cincy may be the bottom-feeder of the conference

Good point.  Even though the BE is down this year, these are all games I feel that USF would be blown out if Leavitt was at the helm.  I base this on empirical evidence only.
