    Minnesota hiring Nick Monroe

    Guys want promotions. He deserved one and didn't get it. Easy decision for him at the end of the day. Pay increase, title promotion. We will continue to fight for the scraps.

    NC State Football offering every Scholarship player NIL money starting in 2023

    Slippery slope… just like with facilities, we will always be a step behind most of our counterparts. The salaries will continue to get higher, loyalty will drop to nil (pun intended) and fans will slowly start to fade away. Heard it hear first!

    Fish and Loaves - 23 Tour

    None that played this year are safe in my book. We need someone who can actually catch passes. And no, I don’t consider Gadsden a TE.

    Robert Anae to NC State

    Don’t disagree, but depth seems to always be an issue on DL. It’s nice when you can rotate in multiple guys capable of getting it done.

    New DC: Rocky Long (now official)

    NICK MONROE is the obvious choice.

    Vague tweets and what do they mean?

    Boy, this NIL thing is really endearing to fans

    In addition to these schools opening up their pockets, the NCAA as an organization is TEEMING with money and greed. And realistically, there is less and less of a need for them anymore. Make them start paying salaries to these kids. After all, without them, there truly is no need for the...

    Boy, this NIL thing is really endearing to fans

    I understand the point you’re trying to make, but your math is grossly off. Add in the amount of additional expenses the school has pertaining to football coaches, training staff, equipment, transportation, AD positions, Dome staff and costs, etc. Football is not the big moneymaker at Cuse...

    Boy, this NIL thing is really endearing to fans

    I’m not a fan when it favors us either. I’d argue it will have a net negative impact on us over time. The system that was in place was inarguably unfair to the student-athletes; however, I’m more of a traditionalist when it comes to watching Cuse sports… have always loved watching some of...

    CB Duce Chestnut transferring to LSU

    No, it’s terrible. I’m not against the players getting paid, but this is not the way to do it. Ultimately leads to the rich getting richer.

    Worst thing that’s ever happened to college sports, especially football and basketball. Just call it minor leagues from now on.

    Terrible new world… has utterly ruined college sports, especially football and basketball.

    Jerami Grant: Trailblazers

    Literally no one. He has a very unconventional shot, too. With that being said, the NBA is a shooter’s league and he’s found himself a nice place in it.

    So Wildhack..he has to be fired, right?

    JB’s boss is the fanbase… and it’s safe to say they’re fed up.

    So Wildhack..he has to be fired, right?

    Wildhack, on paper, is the AD. JB, in reality, is in charge of all decisions related to the bball program.

    Dungey drafted to XFL 3.0 DC Defenders

    Always wanted to see this kid play at the next level. Sure he had many flaws as a pure QB, but he found ways to win and had the heart of a lion. Best to Eric, my kids’ all-time favorite Cuse player!

    Shooting at University of Virginia

    Goes without saying, but life is so much bigger than football. We’re all privy to watching a game, but at the end of the day, human lives are paramount. Such a tragedy.

    Who will be the Syracuse Head Coach in 2024?

    6-0 was the peak of Cuse football success. It‘s just reality. We will never be able to compete with the $$ of the state schools.

    Stop using the same number for multiple players….

    We win today

    Absolutely no one in the media thinks we have a chance. Most of the fan base has lost hope. It only makes sense we move to 7-3.

    Bergeron draft "whispers"

    All comes down to the combine and his private workouts. He is generating substantial interest from a dozen teams. Has not signed an agent yet, but everyone is after him now. His floor will be 3rd round IMHO, with a fair chance of 2nd round and 10% chance of late 1st rounder. He will be...

    I didn’t specifically single out Alford, I just mentioned that he’s getting no targets. When a kid of that size and athleticism is in single coverage on the outside, I’d throw it to him every single time. Let him go up and get it.

    Somewhat annoying

    No doubt, but there were drops in the first half. If you're a WR, your job is to catch anything within your radius. Occasionally, block on the outside and act as a decoy, but if the ball is thrown to you, you need to catch it if catchable... regardless who's throwing it.

    The one that was bouncing through the tunnel into MSU players deserved it. I've watched that video a bunch. Kid was acting like a punk and got treated like a punk.

    Garrett Williams torn ACL, out for season

    This is truly unfortunate. Hopefully he is getting second opinions on what to do next year. Might make sense for him to come back, but might not. Kid def has a legit shot at an NFL career.

    Not sure what has happened to Alford. Every time I see him in single coverage, I just can't help but think to just throw it up for him. He's a big boy. Same with Hatcher.

    Somewhat annoying

    What’s up with the dropped passes? We really need to work on that. So many drive killers. Even our best guys were dropping balls. Really need to regroup in a hurry. So many damn mistakes, but mainly on offense. The laundry on the field this year is truly baffling. CDRW should be starting...

    ND fans can go POUND SALT

    Bingo - so many fake fans. Many were wearing both Cuse and ND colors. I don’t get it.

    ND fans can go POUND SALT

    Wear as much ORANGE as you can, be LOUD as hell and show these Leprechauns that the rainbow doesn’t end here. The crowd will be hostile. ND is a true Jekyll & Hyde team this year, but I’m fully expecting Cuse to move to 7-1 with a resounding win. LFG!

    And this would be a bipartisan, unanimously approved measure amongst the SU faithful!

    Orange Out !!

    Maybe it’s just me, but shouldn’t every Cuse game be an Orange Out? I am always decked in orange. In any event, ND can GFT. LFGO!

    Dino Babers named to Dodd Trophy Watch List

    Well deserved. Dino has received his fair amount of criticism in years past, rightfully so IMO. He now deserves the praise for this year. He made some outstanding hires and has truly built a superior cabinet in the football department. Our national momentum should continue to help with...

    After 6-0 start….

    Can never have enough WRs, but I like what we have coming back. I suppose I should’ve said that OL & DT are the most critical needs.
  44. Rocco

    After 6-0 start….

    Need to focus on OL and DT. We have nice depth everywhere else.

    A Thought on Dino's Contract

    I would be shocked if White is here next year. Anae & Beck seem like a package deal, but could def see them getting a major offer from a state school. Wildhack has been able to open up the purse strings a little bit, but we still can’t offer assistant coach money like some of the bigger...

    I can't believe an NFL team hired from the marrone coaching tree

    Russell Wilson has to be one of the most overrated QBs out there right now. $258 mil and stripping the cupboards for that guy was a colossal mistake. I like Hackett. He‘s had a good track record in the NFL. The in-game coaching decisions have been baffling. He needs to surround himself with...

    Our best by PFF grade by position

    Mikel and Wax are true studs. Same goes for GW, Stef Thompson, Tucker & Bergeron. All 6 will get long NFL looks. I think Lowery and Linton make some major waves next year. Both have incredible size and athleticism. Linton‘s style is a bit similar to how Chan played. Gadsden has the tools...
