    None of the ACC Usual Suspects are World Beaters

    Louisville is already toast this season. Time for them to start thinking about playing for next season...

    Wow! Congratulations

    Wolford was definitely very good today. I really thought he was dismantling the Syracuse secondary, & I was right. Too bad for Wake, Dungey figured out he was pretty good at division 1 football in the 4th quarter.

    In Dungey I Trust

    I was thinking the SAME EXACT THING as he scored on that touchdown & then subsequently gestured to the refs in disbelief. Right then I knew this is gonna be GOOD !!!!!

    In Dungey I Trust

    The reason they don't have more than a 20's offense is their learning curve. They are starting slowly & picking it up by the 4th quarter. Against LSU that won't work, which is fine for this season, but against most of our competition this year it's a winnable scenario.

    In Dungey I Trust

    Dungey is not too dingy !!!

    In Dungey I Trust

    Hopefully that won't be necessary as the offense gains experience.

    In Dungey I Trust

    I was tempted to report this comment for being too right. Lately it has been very offensive to believe this team is offensive, but Dungey takes out the DUNG in this offense.

    It's Only Natural...

    I really don't even like feeling this way... Yes, I have loved this program since my youth, & have enjoyed all the historic moments we witnessed, but it seems like it is all just a distant memory, & I find it difficult to wrap my mind & heart around all this. Please don't misunderstand me, I...

    Erv Out Several Weeks

    Do NOT sell yourselves short on your game knowledge. I have a friend who has coached at the helm & other positions. & lead his pop warner teams to appearances AND victories in the National Championship. The only thing most coaches have on many of you is proximity & personal knowledge of the...

    Rumor mill

    Why would they NOT build drainage into the dome, with all those shots our basketball players RAIN down !!!?!!!
  13. mantonio

    Shafer has his built in excuse

    If this team can cobble together 4 wins out of the first six, they have a legit shot to go bowling. If they 5 out of the first six, I will guarantee a bowl berth!

    Was that a competent offense?

    Look, people! This program has been through much more than most teams in the past 10 years. yet, 'CUSE has been able to scrape togther a few decent seasons & win Bowl games. Things are not what they were in the 80's & 90's, & we may never see the string of success we enjoyed during that...

    My take on the 2015 Season

    My predictions are far more accurate than any professional sports books. I have devised a fool proof system that even a child can master. I was told that I should not divulge this information, because in the wrong hands, it is dangerous! But I love you guys, so here it is... Syracuse will win...

    Syracuse - Big East Tourney & National Champions 2013. Probable repeat in 2014. This kid was in a chrysalis for 3 years!

    i feel sick for Chris

    This might change the destiny of this team for the better over the next 2 or 3 years. If he is out for the season, he won't be leaving the program anytime soon unless his career is over. AND, who knows, maybe Coleman comes back now & shocks the world! To be honest, CMAC was not comfortable...

    Michigan continues to be awful

    L@@K It's too early for assessing this team's value. EVERYTHING is on potential right now because we lost so many veteran contributors & NBA players. Will this squad win enough games this season to make the Tourney? Maybe. But consider the incredible strides that would make this possible...

    Honorary coach for the Duke game with a seat right next to JB.

    Fantastic Fight... Not So Fantastic Result

    I would rather this young team lose by shooting themselves in the foot than to get handled by a top 20 team. These Syracuse boys are talented, & will be a huge headache for a 1 or 2 seed in the Big Dance... AND how about RAK? I'm calling him Ranukkah Christmas now, because he's ballin' ALL...

    Boehiem Ripping Chad Ford in post game

    I have already come up with a fantastic method for avoiding the one & done situations we see all the time. My concept is incentive based, & requires flexibility by the NCAA. It's this simple: Allow NBA teams to draft a player currently in college, & let them stay in college as long as their...

    Almost every other team has multiple good shooters

    Here's the GOOD NEWS: Syracuse currently has superior talent vs. a majority of their opponents. Most of those teams shoot a better percentage than this team right now, but most of those teams would still lose to Syracuse right now. Based on percentages, those other teams' percentages will...

    Goodman, "Cuse could be in trouble"

    Here are some "FACTS." This team has great athleticism, speed, & skill. They have more talent than most teams they will face this season, albeit young talent. They have a proven Hall Of Fame coach who knows how to prepare his teams for the season They have Boeheim's patented zone defense, which...

    Exhale!!!

    This is par for the course with a young, but talented squad. We should all be excited about this right now, they beat a good major conference opponent, & at some points during the game, they looked like a top 10 team doing it. Again, the youthful exuberance is great to see, & it will only get...

    How Good Was UCONN Last Season?

    No one could have predicted that a mediocre squad like UCONN would be cutting down the nets last season, but it happened. They got hot at the right time & everything fell into place, for a team that frankly, didn't have the talent & did not rightfully deserve a National Championship. But, that...
