    Class of 2025 QB Jared Lockhart (NC) Offered

    I've actually watched many of his games at PR. He is very athletic legit size and speed so I can see the potential, need to see more out of his passing. They don't throw a lot but when he is asked to throw its often off target. He still time to improve.

    Fran Brown, Syracuse Football New Head Coach, Official Announcement

    What a ride this has been. Wildhack has balls I will say that. He did not go safe he went extremely risky. If he is not the guy who can coach the big game, but can make us good enough to out talent other teams like a Penn St this would still be a home run hire to me. Time will tell and I am...

    A positive reflection on Dino

    At this point I wish him well, and my expectations for what's next are extremely low. I have seen enough football in the north east to a point I doubt any hire we make will change things. I can't think of one great team in the northeast. So lets just get the next round of coaches in here and...

    1998 Tennessee vs Syracuse

    Not counting the Tennessee game. For the 90s to be considered our "golden era" we sure did lay a lot of golden eggs. And after watching some of that OP Game, I will be more grounded about our offensive line. It is clear that this has been an issue for us no matter the coach. I knew Mcnabb...

    Good win but nothing is learned from it...

    It is very possible that we don't get much from this. However, one thing that I saw that I haven't seen talked about a lot is our pace. It was a pleasant surprise to see us speeding up again.

    NIL has changed me as a college sports fan...and it ain't for the better

    NIL is low hanging fruit. The real blame is the money machine college sports has become. I can't blame kids for wanting a piece of the pie. Nobody was complaining when the coaches were getting million dollar deals, but now when it's the actual kids who play the games turn, now it's a problem?

    Boy, this NIL thing is really endearing to fans

    Just read Sam Hartman intends to transfer. I wonder how Wake feels about NIL.

    Confirmed- Dino returning next season

    I guess my question is what are people expecting in Syracuse? As I look at the landscape of college football I see NO northeast power house team. I always viewed Penn State as the best the NE has but even they don't stand out like they used too. Don't matter what coach you bring in, things...

    Garrett Williams and Field Turf

    Hey may have his burst, idk why but every time he gets tackled he is always very slow to get up like something hurts.

    Devin Leary injury updates (Out for season)

    Even back when we had Mcnabb and big hopes, they came in the dome and beat us. Above any other team left on this schedule I really want this one!

    The all-inclusive Rutgers dumpster fire thread...

    I cant blame him on this one they are blowing Rutgers out and decide to run a fake punt? If we did that to Wagner and the coach came for Babers I wouldn't be mad.

    3-0

    Wow I was expecting to scan down to the 90's and see at least 3 3-0 starts. Maybe those teams did under perform after all. All that talent and no 3-0 starts? I am shocked at this one.

    I am in Charlotte and it looks like it's already been decided for here. Just saw something in our local news.

    Dino on ACC Huddle

    I'm not fully on board yet but one thing I will agree with is his ability to make hard changes. I've been around long enough to remember how P was unwilling to make changes on O with his coordinator and I think it sped up his departure.

    The first 1/4 of the season has been nearly best case scenario

    Can't stand NC State but that team tends to have our number like Pitt so I would be pleasantly surprised if we beat them. Right now I don't see that happening.

    Shrader and Excitement...

    Reading this is incredible, but also makes me realize, if he would have avoided doing some of these things, we would have possibly got more complete seasons from him. Can't deny he was extremely entertaining to watch!

    Not Your Average Recruiting Rant

    We do need to solve the recruiting puzzle. Recruiting has been consistently mediocre with hidden gems here and there for a long time now. Every time we get a new coach we get excited and then the first narrative we throw out with recruiting always starts with "well we are late in this cycle"...

    The worst part about all of this

    The coaches change, but the players we recruit remain the same. Wash, rinse, repeat. Syracuse is just not an attractive destination for recruits. Until that changes, all the throwing money at coaches won't matter.

    The maturation of Dino Babers as a Head Coach

    I can agree with the first sentence. I don't agree he is in over his head though. He has had some really good wins over teams that he had no business beating. And as far as recruiting, I think it's time to let that pipe dream go. Every coach we get seems to have a problem with recruiting...

    Syracuse Football

    It actually brings a very sobering perspective for me to what we see each week. We act like we have never lost a game before that we shouldn't have, and the truth is we have. Even during coach P tenure there was a lot of frustration over play clock management, ridiculous penalties and w*t*f...

    rutgers will be an interesting test

    I am encouraged about this game after seeing the quick decisions TD made yesterday. He showed some instincts and most of the decisions he made were solid. However, if we happen to get blown out in this game, then its time to take that dumpster fire thread down.

    Truly, the beginning of the end of college sports

    You would think with the fanbase we have, along with our history of attendance for our games, that we would benefit greatly from the NIL. This whole thing is better sweet, but I will be patient and see how this pans out. I am not opposed to kids getting paid for their likeness, even if I don't...

    Positives vs the Negatives (Babers Era)

    OL, seems like we have had OL problems on and off since even Mcnabb's time. Just like Dungey, Mcnabb was able to hide the inefficiencies with the scrambles out of the pocket. I think the best line i've seen in a while was when we had Nassib. Baber's obviously knows the OL problems, as he has...

    Dino Babers gave up. And that is absolutely inexcusable.

    I don't know if he gave up, but it sure looked like it. And as I watched these games since Dungey left, wth happened to our pace? I am starting to think there's not enough confidence in our QB because this offense, at one point would force the defense to fake injuries just to catch their...

    The long term

    To add to that just viewed there recruiting class for 2021 which ranks 12th nationally so far according to 247. Of their 16 committments, 14 come from the Carolinas. We have to come to reality that we do not have this in-state luxury.

    ACC Coaches Talk Anonymously About Conference Foes for 2020

    We have gone from coach to coach to coach, but no matter the coach, the recruiting has remained the same. It just seems like a hurdle we can't get over for numerous reasons discussed on these boards. The only difference with Dino, is that we have beat teams where talent-wise we had no business...

    Dino coming up on Zoom

    Thanks for all these updates. Seems so hard to get enough information to feed my need for football.

    Shame Dabo!

    I have more of a problem with his "Football Matters" shirt, than anything else. The timing of wearing something like that is in poor taste. I don't believe him to be racist, but he seems to be out of touch, and unaffected with the sensitivity of the issues in this country right now.

    Beyond the Orange Glasses

    I always felt we would take a step back this year, but that Dino would still get us to a bowl, and that we would see gradual improvements throughout the season. I still believe that. Taking the Clemson game out of the equation, my only disappointment was the Maryland game. There were plenty...

    Season was a failure

    Whose to say we aren't headed in their direction? They both had to transition from HOF coaches. Uconn's inability to get into a power 5 conference may have made things worse, but it all started for both of these teams after losing the coaches that built their programs. I hope that does not...

    9 seed would be best seed in five years.

    I think this is what our reality is right now. We need to enjoy these "mediocre" times we are experiencing right now. History has shown, most teams go through down periods once hall of fame coaches leave.

    Delany...

    I don't see being in a pod with all NE teams being a good thing for us. We need Va Tech, NC state or Miami or even a Florida St. Otherwise year after year, the narrative will be that we are in the weakest pod.

    Can we have a nice civil chat about “Cuse”?

    If you grew up in Syracuse, then the term Cuse has been around for a long time. The media seemed to pick up on it in the 90's.

    Today Dino needs to be locked up

    Whose to say we can "lock Dino up"? Watching how he has moved in the past, it is pretty clear he has a plan and a vision, not only for how his teams play football, but for where he sees himself being. It's clear that this is a special season, and the administration can see that, no one is...

    This won't be popular but here is the reality folks...

    Some of you seem to think we won every game we were supposed to in the 90's. It just doesn't always happen that way. I remember back then we used to call them "W T F" losses. This team will be fine. We are still learning how to win.

    Dungy arm injury

    I am glad we are only talking about his arm, and amazed that no one almost passed out when he got blind-sided on the whiffed past protection in the 4th quarter I believe.
