Orange (31) @ Tigers (27)

If you haven't done so already, you need to do yourself a favor and go watch the video "Matt Park & Doug Marrone Preview Temple" over on SUAthletics.com. You'll be rewarded with two things.

Questions, and prayers, to answer.

Just a month after thinking the season was lost and Doug Marrone's job may be in trouble, Syracuse fans are on top of the world. And they should be thanks to Marrone and this Orange team.

The Syracuse Orange defeated the Missouri Tigers 31-27 on a last-second touchdown and qualified for a bowl game for the second time in three years. People had things to say about it.

Mizzou fans have officially been more awful, ridiculous and bitterly stupid toward James Franklin than they were toward Blaine Gabbert. Congrats, everybody!

Sigh.

Change for change's sake almost never works. Whatever Gary Pinkel does (or doesn't do) to his staff or his team this offseason should be up to him and him alone. And there is not a single easy answer.

The one where Dan only briefly touches on Syracuse's win over Missouri, but rather pontificates on the nature of Orange and college sports fandom.
