    Don't be surprised ...

    As is grace, but I guess a holier than thou attitude is the easier and lazier path. While I can appreciate the ambiguity of your word choice, why stop there.. Syracuse could make the NCAA tourney and could win the NCAA tourney. I merely laid out the things that would need to happen in order...

    Don't be surprised ...

    It’s not that simple.. assuming Cuse wins out, Wake needs to lose a game, or if Wake wins out, then Pitt needs to also win out. There’s a chance, but the variables make it far from a certainty.

    Class of 2025 QB Malik Washington (MD) Offered

    Malik played EYBL on Stay Melo team with none other than Kiyan Anthony. Let’s get it!

    Pitino is right

    I’m not sure the dispute between you two personally, so I’ll stay out of that. However, the NIL rules plus open ended transfers equates to pro sports free agency with one year contracts. It’s bad for all. Nick Saban retired because he couldn’t stand it. Hafley jumped to a coordinator...

    B1G and SEC form joint advisory committee

    They shouldn’t have any jurisdiction over conference alignment. However they took that cue to sit by as a patsy. They could have instead explored, analyzed and proposed solutions for the overall good of the member institutions. But they didn’t.

    B1G and SEC form joint advisory committee

    I don’t think there’s any “what if” about it. The NCAA had years to sort things out before it came to this. It’s certainly a way to determine what they collectively want to do without the governance of the NCAA. Finally, the adults decided to get in a room and sort out what the romper room...

    New OC / RB Coach: Jeff Nixon [Official]

    Devil is coaching for job preservation. Not really on the hot seat this year after last, but an extra win this season lightens the need to deliver as many wins next season. Coaches don’t entirely think like fans. 6-11 record seems like a waste of effort to a fan vs 2-15. But it means a lot...

    Myles Farmer transferring to App State

    Barron will get smoked in the Nickel. He needs to be high side (10%) and box (90%). Slot receivers will eat him alive.

    Ligashesky Heading to Minnesota

    ST coaches are a luxury more than anything else. ST is on the field for less than 12% of a game, meaning it’s a niche. Kickers and punters.. you can teach technique, but in the moment, they make a great kick or they don’t. Don’t forget that the best kickers in the game don’t average 90%...

    Still trying to figure out how this exception works…. Couldn’t a team just tell everyone that they’re now on an academic scholarship and will have to try out to walk on the team? Great way to game the system imo.

    Duce Chestnut transferring back to the 'Cuse

    Duce’s play as a true freshman was impressive. I expected the usual sophomore leap in terms of the game slowing down even more for him, but it didn’t materialize the way I expected his Sophomore year. He has talent, but needs to put it all together. Believe he only played in 4 games this...

    When does NIL Kick In?

    It’s not driven by the school, it’s driven by the collectives. So can start whenever they want it to start.

    Boca Raton Bowl Updown

    My thoughts: - We need to find a way to add one more QB. - We could use 2 more OL. - Beck was better than I realized over the course of this season. In my mind, he has a really bright future. - Tapping out with nearly 10 mins to go really p!ssed me off. 4th and 8 and at the 35, I’d have rather...

    USF / Boca Raton Bowl Gameday...

    Dan Villari is not a college level QB. He’s a great gimmick QB, but he’s no where near the level of Dungey. I love what the guy has done and am super excited he’s our TE. But he’s not Shrader 2.0.

    FSU vs The ACC

    I think that this actually is a good thing. If the GOR doesn’t hold, I’d recommend the ACC immediately disband and contact the P2 and all join that conference. It would allow them to negotiate a new TV deal, because the current ACC TV deal is prohibitive to the ACC ever earning close to the SEC...

    Syracuse gets a C+ for hiring Fran Brown...

    Bulletin board material for Fran.. gave him a nod for McCord but not the rest of the recruiting he shouldered in all of 2 weeks, while letting the staff finish out their current responsibilities.

    Micron - Let’s try this again

    Versus competing with 9,999 other people fighting for parking? I imagine that if such a rail system were deployed, the Bills would run a shuttle service to/from the train. Regardless, it wouldn't make economic sense to build a high speed rail from Syracuse to Buffalo, so this hypothetical is...

    This is smart marketing. He's shown us fans what he can deliver and asking for us all to arm him for the next round. Brilliant.

    Real talk - Mullen wouldn't be doing what Brown is right now

    No slight to Mullen, because I think he would have been able to execute the resurgence, albeit in a much different way. That said, I didn't know that what's happening now was possible at that time. With the benefit of Fran delivering in the way he has, I feel like JW rolled the dice and caught...

    I love that the school seems to be stepping up and providing the resources for Fran to be successful. Hat tip to JW and the Trustees for stepping up.

    Class of 2024 WR Syair Torrence (NY: CBA) Committed to BC

    Nope. He “wanted” come here but it didn’t work because the competition became too much. He’s talented and I wish him the best.

    "Fran Brown is already causing problems for Penn State football recruiting!"

    Accusations found little substance because statute of limitations passed. Nobody was going to keep investigating a charge they couldn’t levy.

    "Fran Brown is already causing problems for Penn State football recruiting!"

    Can we let the Sandusky/JoePa stuff die? Keeping such a heinous crime alive through constantly bringing it back up isn’t appropriate. I respect that you all despise the program for it, But I see no need to advocate for such trauma being actively discussed out of respect to the victims. It’s...
