As you’re acutely aware, the Syracuse Orange football program hasn’t been a postseason fixture of late.
The Orange have made just three bowl games since 2005 (though admittedly, they’ve also won them all), and their last trip was in 2013. To say we’re not used to participating in bowl games would be a reasonable assumption. There are kids entering kindergarten this fall that have never seen us in one.
Still, that doesn’t erase our previous bowl history, or for the purposes of this article, the future bowls we’ll be participating in. That future starts with 2018, when it would be REALLY awesome if SU could find their way to a bowl game.
