    Speed is cool but we've had speed before. Van Chew ran a 4.3/4.4 and not short at 6'1 but had the physical frame of a stickman. I don't think FB is bringing in VCs. I'm just saying, speed's cool, but you need speed and size. Smarts helps too

    EA Sports is bringing back College Football video game

    The newest XBOX, that's a mouthful. I switched from PS to XBox after PS2. I opted for the 360 over the PS3 due to some exclusive titles that I felt I needed to have. I digress. Xbox history: Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox One Xbox One S Xbox One X Xbox Series S (not to be confused with One S even though...

    EA Sports is bringing back College Football video game

    You only needed 8 plays in NCAA(and their variations) HB Misdirection HB Blast HB Slam Power 0 Slants (many times I would audible to the 1 or 2 WR to run a go route, if safety doesn't play WR then he's first read, similar to Y Stick) HB Angle Inside Cross Curls

    2024 Seating Changes

    I think people in general fear change. Not just CNY. It's represents loss of control, change in status, uncertainty, etc. We will all adjust, I think we just need to vent for a few days. "These are my seats" - nope. Never were. We just rented them. And I still don't like the student move. The...

    2024 Seating Changes

    Layered and nuanced? You are saying it's both good and bad. You're not really arguing anything except proving you like to argue using strawman arguments with no actual basis(I'm sure you were one of those as you always complain about the students). Also you're right, they don't leave a 20-17...

    2024 Seating Changes

    You sound like my ex. You're literally arguing for the sake of arguing and talking out both sides of your mouth. "Your buddy is paying $100. The students are paying $70k a year and attend the university for which the football team plays." - ok so they're prioritizing students, cool. "Your...

    2024 Seating Changes

    Biggest issue for me is moving the student section. When they expanded it last year or year before, they displaced one of my friends. He moved to what is now going to be the new student section causing him to be displaced again. Not sure he will renew after that. He was already pissed the way he...

    New OC / RB Coach: Jeff Nixon [Official]

    I love dumb comedy coach speeches. If you've never heard it, listen to Coach Hisler (Johnny Be Good) pre-game speech. It's pretty offensive by today's standards so I won't post it here. Just google Johnny Be Good pre game speech.

    Leon Lowery transferring to Wisconsin (again)

    I saw a stat said he had 7.5 TFLs, that's less than 1/game. I wonder how much that's worth in today's college NIL market?

    Dungy just threw Babers under the bus.

    Dino almost ruined DeVito. Shafer played with 4th string QBs. It's not the same. Grob got a longer leash than Shafer and Shafer won a bowl game. Shafer got screwed.
  15. Pyle

    Serious question concerning Babers

    Rocky sucks. The middle of the field is so wide open it reminds me of an 80s Warren St hooker named Kandi.
  16. Pyle

    Dungy just threw Babers under the bus.

    The one year when he didn't lose his starting QB we won the Texas Bowl. Don't get me wrong, I don't know that he was the answer but IMO he didn't get a fair shake given the ridiculous amount of injuries in year 2 or 3. And Shafer knew defense which is a big part of playing meathead ball. Dino's...

    Dungy just threw Babers under the bus.

    Marrone was never HC before he got here. Dino had a couple successful stops. There is no fool-proof formula.
  18. Pyle

    Dungy just threw Babers under the bus.

    Not really nostalgia, I was never happy about his dismissal and have been vocal about it plenty. My opinions usually aren't popular and that's fine. But we've been trying to match the offense to the dome for how long? It's a BS exercise in futility. We couldn't get the recruits for it before...
  19. Pyle

    Dungy just threw Babers under the bus.

    Nope. Shafer would have been fine if not playing with his freaking 4th string QB. Tired of the BS. Did you want P fired for Grob and the WCO too? There is a contingent of fans around here that think we have to be some kind of air raid blabity blah blah offense to win here. We win when we play...

    Limp Lizard is better IMO. The hellfire chili is like a little bowl of meat heaven. Dino is more fun, Limp is better food.

    What a Couple of Clemson Fans Thought of Their Syracuse Road Trips

    I had a younger(mid-20s) Clemson couple sit behind us in 112. He was a complete dbag. His girlfriend had no idea what was going on, fine-but still annoying listening to him explain what a false start was 10x. But both of them for the entire game just completely trashed us. "I guess SU stands for...

    Help me understand why UNC is a more winnable game than Clemson

    Admit, I forgot about the extra points usually given for homefield.

    Help me understand why UNC is a more winnable game than Clemson

    vs Clemson -6.5 vs UNC -8.5 I don't think it's more winnable at all and neither do the odds makers. We're going to need some fitzmagic out of Shredder to even stand a chance.

    Apathy?

    I can tell you if a team cracks the top 15 and then loses 5 straight games and isn't named SU, I could care less and probably didn't notice. Nobody cares we cracked the top 15 but us.

    I’m bringing my kids to their first game

    Ummmm some great ideas but I've used the following and seen others employ a similar strategy to great success. 1. Park at Skytop, let kids play on the massive dirt mound. During the game - 2. Sugar 3. Sugar 4. Probably more sugar.

    No More 4 Hour Games

    Because it sucks. I used to go out for a smoke at halftime. Then they banned it, then I quit so now I sit in my seat. Oh awesome, they are playing Bohemian Rhapsody! Sounds like EVERY other band show I've seen in the dome. Maybe you can all hear it better on the SU side, but I sit in 112 and let...

    Tommy Gun...

    Fact: DeVito got an NFL shot. Fact: DeVito made a bowl for Illinois and had a very good senior season. Fact: Something here didn't fit, Oline, system, coaches, whatever but as soon as he left he found success. IMO this is a bit of a bruise on Dino. DeVito could have been one of the best QBs...

    So what did we learn from the spring game?

    Was this fun? My wife and I left early. I got almost nothing from it. One handed touch/thud yawn factory. Fact is, I'm not sure I ever truly enjoyed these events myself. It was always about a fun day with the kids. Now one's at Canisius and the other had no interest after his own lax practice...

    NIL and Portal Question

    I do hope you're right. I just know there's alot of awfully big belt buckles down south that don't care much for reason. They just want to do it bigger than the next guy. Big money with big egos down there. The other things to consider is sure, with patience, we may see equilibrium, however...

    NIL and Portal Question

    I admit I do not pay, I'm getting very little information from just headlines but there's a narrative being put together.

    NIL and Portal Question

    Are entering mid-major territory? We're a bottom P5 team that has basically now come out and said we aren't doing NIL(not the way we need to anyway), pushed Weitsman out, and are watching our best leave. Sure we get leftovers from other places but they aren't as good as what's leaving. Why do...

    More grab and go concessions on the horizon?

    Just my opinion but the food mostly sucks. Fries sit in boxes and are soggy. New Nachos blowchos. 1/4lb dogs are ok Burgers are ok and a nice addition. Pizza is lousy. I can't recall trying the chicken but I know my kids weren't impressed. Beer selection got better 10 years ago, I'm sure...

    Axe has been axed

    If you miss the NIT two years in a row after decades of tournament appearances, elites 8s, etc then you don't need to be an expert to see that something broke up on the hill. My opinion.
  41. Pyle

    Axe has been axed

    Too negative? Anyone see the selection show? See UCONN get that 4 seed? Remember when we got 4 seeds? Now we don't even get NIT. Negativity is deserved. SU sports are a shell from the BE days. We probably can't survive without the ACC but it also killed us competitively, not sure why but I don't...

    Obviously, he didn't retire.

    They had to? Really? I don’t think they had to do anything. So what if the media speculated for a day. They could have done nothing, had JW presser the next day thanking him for his years of service, for building the program, for dedicating his life to the university. Etc. He didn’t have to be...
