Sure they are 7-3 and are bowl eligible for the first time since 2004. Does that make them an Empire?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I didn&#8217;t think so either.<\/p>\n<p>Even if they were an Empire, which they aren&#8217;t, the ad can be looked at in another way. If you think back to last year, the Huskies beat the Orange 56-31 in which Orange head coach Doug Marrone had some choice words for UConn Huskies head coach Randy Edsall.<\/p>\n<p>So maybe the ad is about revenge. Well, at least publicly, the Orange say <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/espn.go.com\/blog\/bigeast\/post\/_\/id\/14978\/revenge-syracuse-says-uconn-spat-over\"><strong>last year&#8217;s game is in the past<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now that&#8217;s something I definitely don&#8217;t believe.
