Downtown Syracuse and vibrant should never be used in the same sentence.

There was an interesting article in the Washington Post yesterday about how Navy turned it around this year in large part because the head coach had to fire his long-time friend/co-ordinator after a disastrous 2018 season. Exactly the position Dino is in with some of his guys who clearly need...

At least we’re going into 2020 knowing we have our defensive coordinator on staff.

And finally made it out never to come back.

Then why were the same seats half the price (or less - I do not remember the exact cost) for the crap games? I checked Colgate and others just to see and there was a huge price difference. And I was sent an email playing up that as a football season ticket holder I was getting some sort of...

Regarding the crowd - the price for tickets was ridiculous for a Wednesday at 9PM game. Lower tickets not even facing the court (beyond the baseline) were $140. I have traveled up to Syracuse for a couple football games this year and I cannot imagine how they find people up there willing to...

I remember when SU "lost" current presidential candidate Cory Booker to Stanford. You could make the argument that Stanford is the best school in the country for athletes - academics, quality of play, amazing post-graduation job offers, a top 5 campus in terms of sheer beauty, living...

How is it even possible that almost every player has gotten worse? Not one guy is better today than they were last year.

Sure protect the true freshmen's red shirts but with 3 games left Dino should play everyone and anyone. This is exactly the situation the 4 game rule is in place. Well probably not as it was probably designed to get the true freshmen into a few blow out wins but since we are not going to see...

Yup - I bet they don’t do this.

So much anticipation and hope two months ago. Most fan interest in years. All gone and it will be tough to get most of it back if they close out the year like this. Most new season ticket buyers are done. Recruiting has gone backwards. They’ll be transfers out. Dino needs to act like a...

If they allowed Syracuse to have 10 WRs on every play it would not matter as DeVito would throw to the first one he looked at. But he is great at 7 on 7.

I don't think your wrong, but at this point, I am not sure it could hurt. These kids are picking schools like PSU over us 95% of the time. I'm not saying your pitch focuses solely on the demerits of the composition (or that you even use it on all competitors), but I don't know how you don't...

Syracuse will never have the money needed to be on par with the big programs - and they would be better served spreading the money anyway. My friend's daughter is a top 10 recruit in girl's soccer who committed to a full ride at Duke during her freshman year of HS. Duke told her to take...

First offensive play - send 2 WRs deep on fly patterns (left and right). Second play - repeat first play - have QB throw to the right side and not come within 5 yards of the WR. Third play - WRs running fly patterns barely make it back to the line in time as they are gassed - they are no...

Why would he want to come here seeing the way the current RBs are being wasted (I know, I know - the OL sucks)? Shafer made lesser RB talents bigger threats through play calling.

Former Orange walk on giving Vandy hope.

Syracuse recruited a kid out of ASA a few years ago who was supposed to be big-time. I cannot remember his name but I seem to remember he never made it - or if he did he was at SU for a very short time. At that time ASA was a scam school - I bet it still is - to get kids grades. Antonio...

Dino is losing his luster and Devito is showing why you shouldn’t fall in love with flag football 7 on 7 recruiting event champions.

So much for the hype. Back to 25K a game next year.

WMU killed themselves over and over in the first half with turnovers and dumb penalties. And 4th down failures. Syracuse was lucky to go into the locker room with a lead. WMU must have a very solid strength and conditioning program as the OL had to take on a pass rush teeing off on 2/3s of...

Interesting article in yesterday's Washington Post (I think - I read a couple papers) about how some big schools track when students leave games as the students are part of a rewards program that earn points for coming and staying. Since demand far exceeds tickets available, the school's reward...

Speaking of traditions......lucky the Orange did not win and send the third largest Dome crowd of all time into a frenzied march to Marshall Street. Varsity closed at 9PM (while there was still hope) so flipping the banner after an all-time comeback would have...

Good thing Dino and friends had film on Maryland or it could have been really bad.

I bet if they pitched it out three times they's score.

Another chance to crush their spirit. How far off will Tommy be on this deep throw?

Are they trying to lose this game? No way Liberty can keep up with the Syracuse RBs on the edge. This is becoming ridiculous. You cannot depend on the defense all night - especially when they have a WR who can score on any play.

Yes - because Syracuse is so very cosmopolitan.

That was ridiculously bad. Score there ends it. Touchdown Tommy he is not.

HS QBs - why are you going elsewhere?

PLEASE - run it, twice if you have to.

Run the ball and score. 17-0 at the half would be a big win after this slow start.

Stupid - just run it down their throats. Devito is terrible so far and hasn't shown any reason to think he is suddenly going to get hot. 17-0 and it was the beginning of the end. Three very solid ACC backs and they throw.

Why? Do we have an accurate QB on the bench?

Liberty plays much faster than Syracuse's hyped offense.

I never expected to see a flat start like this from a Dino team.

I bet you they have been telling the OL to push these guys back since the first play. They can't.

They need to score here just so they can relax.

This is the Devito that has been hyped out here for 2+ years?

The follow up comments are classic.

I thought Harper redshirted last year. He came in two years ago.

Yup - second year in a row that Joe Casamento comes through with a recruit. Several former SU players coach in the area at good football school too. Dino and company have done a great job of reestablishing a DC connection.

Dino is not going anywhere. He's already at an ACC school. He will be 58 years old before the 2019 season starts. He still has 5 games this season to play before this year can be considered a success or merely a small step forward. So he is already near the top of his profession, he is old...

If any of you actually saw the kid's ankle you would understand why there is no need for 17 pages on this. And if it was your son, you would not be pushing him to play through it. How JB and/or the father handled it - both badly IMO from what is publicly known - is irrelevant to the fact that...

20+ especially when you take into account the best recruits will actually make it to campus and contribute.

If you throw in the transfers Adams and Jackson using their ranking points from their senior year, Syracuse's 2018 class would move into the mid 20s with a couple more spots to fill. Amazing job by this staff this year with 2018 looking even better based on early offers and recruit commentary.

Matt Lauer has a better chance of getting a job interview with CBS than Dino has of landing any of the "big boy" dream jobs.

Ridiculous. The only place Dino's name has come up for any of the high number of openings is on this board. He was mentioned early in one article with 20 others regarding Tennessee despite never being considered (when half the country has been). FSU is pretty much focused only on minority...
