One of the things that was instantly enjoyable about the Syracuse Orange’s hire of Dino Babers was how quotable he was. From the jump, there was an excitement that he was bringing and understood how to bring fans there with him.
“Belief without evidence”
“Consistently good, not occasionally great”
“You guys will like the cake we’re baking. Now is not the time to eat the batter.”
That last one had long been a favorite, but now resonates differently. Dino’s cake was potentially done baking in year three, and we’ve left it in the oven too long in the years that followed.
