BC vs Maryland. We are better than both of those teams and we aren't good. Scheduling, scheduling scheduling.

BC beat UMass, Wagner, Buffalo, NC State, UConn and WF. 2 FCS teams (almost 3).BC vs Maryland. We are better than both of those teams and we aren't good. Scheduling, scheduling scheduling.
For the life of me I cannot figure out why some people here struggle with this. The casual fans at my work want to see the "big" games in the dome, but are the first to jump off the band wagon when they go winless through SeptemberSome day we will learn. Hope I'm alive to see it.
You don't build a program over-scheduling and playing good teams tough but always losing and walking away with moral victories.
Winning breads Winning!
Would love to win some bread, as long as it's from Columbus bakery.Some day we will learn. Hope I'm alive to see it.

Clearly, at this point at least, we need to feast on our 4 OOC games. We play enough marquee teams in our division alone w/FSU, Louisville and powerhouse Clemson. As Steve Martin's Wild & Crazy Czech brother Yortuk Festrunk might say, "Pleaski. Give me a breakski."
Sad season is over even though we took our licks. Need to back into a bowl next year and make it happen in 2018. I'm not sure what "it" means, but it ain't 4-8.
Of the 14 ACC teams only SU, Duke and Virginia aren't bowling.
A team like Georgia Tech that has a relatively low national profile (rarely part of the "national conversation") went to a bowl 19 straight years (except last year). Va Tech in a bowl game every year since 1993. Pitt 7 coaches in the last 8 years (3 interim) and goes bowling every year. And don't even talk to me about Dontez Ford.
My whine/rant over, I'm hopeful (there's that word again) Babers will turn it around w/improved recruiting, player development and more Amba Etta-Tawos. Go Orange!
Even for contenders it makes no sense to schedule tough OOC, at least based on what happened to Ped State not making it in and Washington making it in. You think PSU would like to change that Pitt loss to a win over Florida Atlantic? They would probably be in.
Didn't realize now independent UMass (2-10) upticked in 2013 to FBS. The larger point being we play these teams, we'd likely get 6 wins too.I count one FCS team in there (Wagner).
hey we had nc st and wake and ND on our schedule how much easier do we want it
Or the twinkie bowl.We could also call it the hostess cupcake bowl.
I would rather be SU than BC at this point in time regardless of the bowl.
Had we beaten Wake and one other we'd be there.
And I like seeing an LSU and a ND on the schedule.
the ND game is a great example of bad scheduling coupled with whorish money grabs by the university. That game, if it's at the Dome, may have been a much closer affair. That game in NYC is 85% ND fans. It's preposterous. We didn't win one of those Meadowland games.
Darryl Gross used the Washington General business plan for Syracuse football.
Woulda coulda shoulda mightof. You are what your record says you are.
