    LSU opens -3.5 / 72

    Playing at home is going to be a huge edge for LSU. I got 6 points here which seems like an overreaction. OSU or Clemson would have curb stomped Oklahoma also

    LSU opens -3.5 / 72

    Georgia got ripped by LSU in SEC Title. Utah QB was exposed as having High School passing abilities when Utah finally played a ranked team. OK was not really fourth best but they deserved the spot. Only team that could of competed w LSU is Bama who lost twice and beat zero ranked teams...

    Top 10 Players After Week 1

    My eyeball adjustments to this list is Kendall Coleman to #3 and Josh Black looked terrific and checks in at #9. Lakiem Williams or Tommy D at #10

    The Downside - Clemson

    I was hoping for a NM or a blank page for The Downside

    Class of 2018 SG RJ Barrett Jr (CN) - Committed to Duke

    Im as jaded as anyone about college basketball but watching Grayson Allen's behavior it wouldn't surprise me at all that he would be driving a $100k Beamer even if he didn't play sports

    Teams you don't want to see win it all

    Pretty sure TE Moore dropped an easy pass over the middle

    SU opens -5 over Wisky...

    spread has dropped to 3 points...strange.

    OC vs DC coaches

    I would have no problem with a great power game but Doug Marrone isnt coming here and I know Jim Harbaugh isn't walking through that door. You need great OLine coaching for a good power offense

    Brace yourself mods

    and very long field goal attempts and leading the nation in punting on 4th and 1. Yay us

    I have this feeling

    I feel like the offense has been pretty good. Light years ahead of the previous couple years. If only we had last years defense
  15. CiceroSwamp

    BTW, this is going to be a REALLY good team next year.

    I actually think we have a punchers chance against LSU. They are one-dimensional on offense and its the dimension we like to defend. I assume that the LSU stud back will make some plays but I do think we can keep it a pretty low scoring game and Dungey can avoid some sacks and make a few plays...

    coach k criticized refs at halftime

    The difference is there can be a strategy at halftime. Game is over its time for class. I agree with others that Coach K would never complain about officiating after a game. I hate Duke (but wish to hell we were Duke) and K is class

    The Next Syracuse Head Coach

    as long as the coach is a current or former OC and not a DC i am good with the hire...i cant take anymore 100 yard passing games

    Things I'm watching for this weekend

    i would sign up for 17 points and call it a win for sure

    An honest to goodness question for FB diehards

    Great post...it baffles me that so many criticize people who chose to not go to games or chose to leave early. I leave games early if the product isnt good and i would rather spend time with my infant child and wife and somehow that is villiany to some. Its all sports entertainment and not...

    This program needs to wake up. Quickly.

    yeesh...students dont come to games or leave early because (like all of us) they are bored at the games but unlike most of us they can easily go out and drink/party and have a lot more fun...whereas we just stay and talk about the Bills/Giants and a bunch of unrelated topics and keep a casual...

    Boston College --last 10 years

    well our ceiling for local support is higher...i suspect that the next couple of years we will not be displaying much local support for football

    I think there's too much precipice fear here

    Schiano was pretty good and perfect for Rutgers. He was a strong def coordinator and was able to use defense and special teams to show some progress to fans/recruits and he was a personable/charasmatic guy who was able to take advantage of Rutger's location and elevate recruiting. Syracuse...

    They are awful...maybe Bottom 10 awful

    Gross has to pull the plug on Shafer

    actually in baseball terms he is batting .333 but yeah i dont think he gets another hire
  25. CiceroSwamp

    With a limited budget, HC needs to be offensive guy

    I said this the last two hires...college is all about scoring points. I wanted Hacket or start fresh but i hoped against hope that Schafer could get it done...he was likable and frankly i have no say in the matter and have season tix since dome opened

    Earth to HCSS and the Doctor

    Holy Crap... and with those slick Orange Unis we will magically become a competent looking offense and entertain the fans instead of putting them to sleep

    So Greg Marshall, Sean Miller and Kevin Ollie are better coaches than JB

    JB isnt the only slight on that list. Thad Motta and Jay Wright are like 19-20 (or 18-19) on the list and i would put them both in my Top 13. Based on criteria i think, Pitino, Cal, Donovan, K and Izzo are the top 5 in that order on my list. Then in some order is Self, JB, Wright, Motta, JB at...

    So it comes down to this. Who do you hate less?

    when u strip away the uniforms you have one team that has a terrific likable young coach and overachieving team against the sleeziest coach in all of sports and a gaggle of MickeyDs. I will find myself rooting for Conn as wrong as that is

    Committee made history...

    The 'Ville was in fact #4 in BPI...but apparently that was ignored

    The committee did Duke no favors

    They have done an amazing job w-out McGready but that doesnt matter. They dont look like a 2 seed. Michigan St had their way with them yesterday. the game i saw was simply if MSU played Mich with Michigan St having its full team woul beat Michigan 10 times out of 10.
  31. CiceroSwamp

    The committee did Duke no favors

    Michigan is not an impressive 2 seed nor is UMass an impressive 6 seed. Having said that Kansas might be a good matchup for us
  32. CiceroSwamp

    Congrats to Virginia

    I was glad to see Virginia get it...but i see them as the snowball ad Michigan St as hell. Michigan St fully healthy is probably the team to beat in the whole tournament
  33. CiceroSwamp

    Another MSG possibility?

    I think if someone besides SU or Duke wins the ACC it is possible a team like Kansas, Big 10 or maybe Louisville gets the final 1 seed. Nova 2 seed and SU 3 seed. But if Duke wins and earns 1 seed in East, I dont believe SU will be in the East
  34. CiceroSwamp

    Will Duke be ranked #5 in today's polls?

    I also wonder if the 'Ville will jump 7 spots to #6. They have looked strong lately

    For those with the game DVR'd...

    A very small peep a little later on...Zanna got a foul shortly after (i believe when he wiped out Grant on a FT attempt) and they took him out and Doris Burke made a small reference to an earlier play which i believed to be the forearm shove when the play was over

    UNC/Duke game might not be happening tonight

    Maybe the referees cant make it in.

    Projecting Future Pro's

    I think Zeke has the best (probably only shot) at being a first round pick some day of the current roster I would rank Whigham #2 prospect of the FR/sophs...love his playmaking I think Nick Robinson is a terrific sleeper pick and might be 3a with Eskridge for me I would put MacFarlane on the...

    SU getting only 1.5 points

    Time to focus on games we can compete in. SU opens as a mere 1.5 dog against PITT. I cant see it but if we are going to win a 6th game Pitt is easier than BC
  40. CiceroSwamp

    SU 17 - Md 10

    The over/under on this game is 55 points...that does seem crazy but Vegas is spot on over/under often...maybe we will have what most of us would call a s e x y game

    Are we really still a football school that plays bball?

    This summarizes my thoughts and my friends who in some cases just recently starting coming back to the games. we have taken several steps back to unwatchable football again..maybe we will in time take three steps forward but it is real hard with what we have gone through to go through this...

    Marrone Thoughts

    The offense wasnt perfect but it was light years better than it is now except for Year 1. Year 2 we had the dramatic Pinstripe Bowl explosion on K State...we beat WVU on the road who was ranked and we hung 31 on Cincy who was considered good. Year 3 we dipped but we still won games scoring in...

    Marrone's tenure here...

    That is really revisionist history at its finest. I am not saying he was clear on this to the general public but he was clear...if he wasnt taken seriously that he planned on leaving at seasons end then shame on the administration for being unprepared

    Georgia Tech’s 3 losses

    I watched part of GaTech v Vatech and VaTech has a stud DB and they blitzed him a lot right up the middle...it was very disruptive

    Marrone's tenure here...

    that is for sure...head coaches are supposed to be freed up for other things...they make a big deal of how Oregon head coach has Phil Knight on speeddial for any $$$ needs he may have. If u want to be a big boy it is as simple as stating your needs and watch it happen

    Marrone's tenure here...

    No Marrone was quite clear he was leaving before the 2012 season had even begun
