Wednesday’s news that Dino Babers and the Syracuse Orange had agreed to a contract extension was met with quite a bit of elation around these parts.
Though things started slow in terms of wins and losses for Babers (SU was just 8-16 in his first two seasons), this year was obviously the big payoff. The Orange cashed in on the promise of previous big upsets to go 9-3 (6-2 in the ACC) and earn a trip to the Camping World Bowl. The future looks bright for Syracuse football, and we’re excited to see Babers at the helm for what could be the start of the program’s actual revival.
