    USC and UCLA to the Big Ten

    Not sure I can get mad at Dino for meh recruiting if our AD is slashing the preverbal tires when he tries to go recruit. Maybe it’s true, maybe it’s to motivate people in the right direction .. maybe… it’s almost definitely not something I’d say out loud.

    Mikel Jones...

    Going into this Fall, we can arguably make the case that we have an (in their position group) Top 5 prospect at CB, LB and RB. I am not sure how to process this information.

    Stranger Things 3

    I thought S4 was the best season outside S1 Felt like some of the Eleven storylines took forever to get through, but I get the need for some of it for backstory. The use of music in this season was perfection.

    USC and UCLA to the Big Ten

    One would think, if AAU accreditation was truly holding us back from a B1G invite, that New York State could work with the University to rectify that. College Football is big business and is New York ok with not being represented in a potential landscape shift? Maybe my view is distorted...

    USC and UCLA to the Big Ten

    I can’t get excited about playing football in a weak conference. This isn’t like CBB where teams like Gonzaga can thrive outside of a major conference. I’m sure there will be a market for content outside of the B1G/SEC, should the worst case scenario occur, but it would feel way too “minor...

    USC and UCLA to the Big Ten

    They’ve had trouble recruiting SoCal as is. Many of the top recruits have been heading to the SEC, Clemson and Florida Schools. The top OL in ‘23 just committed to Miami a few days ago… hes from Cali but transferred to play prep in South Florida. If anything, this helps them, if for nothing...

    Can We Ever Get A Song?

    Andy Mineo is from Syracuse. Not anywhere on the level of Post Malone, but he has a song that could def get the student section boppin called “Coming in Hot”.. the hook is a banger and Kim K used it in an IG post for whatever that’s worth.

    Something like this, but with Syracuse roots, would be amazing. I go to the UF home opener every year with one of my good friends and this is a goosebumps moment every time.

    USC and UCLA to the Big Ten

    It doesn’t not make sense.. The SEC would still have the premier football conference with their current schools, plus Clemson, Miami, FSU etc. The SEC would own the SE, into Texas, and entire East Coast major media markets. Then, as a cherry on top, also have the premier basketball conference.

    USC and UCLA to the Big Ten

    Just heard some wild speculation down here in Georgia that if the B1G attempts to become a national super league, the SEC could look at expanding based on region expansion rather than football quality and/or cultural fit. Meaning that west coast teams and NE teams like Syracuse could be...

    USC and UCLA to the Big Ten

    You’d have decent name recognition in the middle/lower class of the conference and if the top of the conference can consistently be Clemson, Oregon, FSU, Miami, Washington etc., with UNC, VT types making a jump.. the conference could survive and be quite respectable on the national level as the...

    USC and UCLA to the Big Ten

    This. ND doesn’t seem at all interested in joining the ACC. Become a “Coastal Conference” and go super league with west coast teams. IMO, that’s the only way the ACC has a chance at survival. If they stand pat, it’s only a matter of time before Clemson & FSU bite the bullet for the SEC...

    USC and UCLA to the Big Ten

    Exactly.. I’m certainly under no illusions that we are at all well positioned at the moment. Our alumni base is likely far more connected than Rutgers, if that matters at all .. but Syracuse figuring out how to play P5 football asap would be extremely helpful. B1G doesn’t need us for New York...

    USC and UCLA to the Big Ten

    Depends how far the B1G expands West.. One would think they want to bring more teams over now that they have USC/UCLA in the fold. SEC could expand their SE footprint and go into the Mid-Atlantic and further into Texas/Oklahoma and the heartland. Basically would be B1G (NE, Midwest, West)...

    Class of 2021 QB Carlos Del Rio Wilson (GA) Transferring from Florida to Syracuse

    Their depth chart was a stud in Anthony Richardson, a decent vet QB in Emory Jones and then Del-Rio Wilson as QB3. Kitna was not ahead of him. No shame in him being in that spot as a freshman.

    Well so much for the ACC being weak ..

    For me, personally, we were good back then. Now, we seem to be a perennial bubble team that makes a run in the tourney if we get in. Conference perception means a lot when you’re Syracuse now vs Syracuse then. See, Wake Forest. Regardless of what they did in the NIT - because, who cares -...

    Crazy to hear how the Hill contract issues went down. -Chiefs/Hill had framework of a 21.75M per year deal worked out. -Adams deal comes down. -Hill’s agent then tells Chiefs, in light of the Adams deal, that they should be prepared to make Hill the highest paid WR or do what’s best...

    Yea, definitely got that after I checked out the full profile. I’m just sayin.. If Diggs is going to be on his cryptic vibe all year and Beane sees the writing on the wall of a divorce next off-season, I’m pulling the trigger if someone gives us close to the Hill trade package.

    Buffalo Bills 2022 Thread

    Is this person semi-reliable at all? (Seems like a parody account ha) BUT I’d honestly pull the trigger on that. This offense is Josh Allen-centric. I trust him enough to lead an elite offense with or without Diggs.

    Buffalo Bills 2022 Thread

    Am I crazy for starting to think there’s about a 25% chance Diggs isn’t on this team Week 1? If the Adams/Hill contracts changed the landscape, and he wants in on that, I get it… but I don’t think we can, nor should meet him at that price point.

    Bills board says Chad Hall was at Ohio State’s pro-day and had extensive 1 on 1’s with Olave and Wilson. That certainly lends belief that Bills are open to a RD1 WR.

    AFCE seems like a cakewalk… (Enter Armstead and Hill) Good for Miami.. interesting team. Not worried about the division, but Miami could be legit. While the knee jerk reaction is to take a corner at 25, this just tells me the smart move is WR. 25-30M for elite WR’s… yeesh…. Take one at 25...

    NCAA 2nd Round Games for March 20

    I’m rooting for conference. It seems we’re safe for now, as the SEC made their move, kill shot to the Big XII and it looks like the ACC, B1G and PAC will survive. That said, I’d rather be in a strong conference. CFB drives everything but Men’s CBB is the co-pilot. Given the ACC’s...

    In fairness, it was probably more the Duke fans that stayed for the Auburn/Miami game. Also, I’m good with it. For one, it plays on the “SEC chant”, and two, Auburn talked trash about Miami not facing an SEC caliber defense in the ACC.

    Good for Miami if they can hold on. I’ve been in Greenville all weekend… fan-wise this city has been 40% Auburn, 35% Duke, 20% MSU and 5% Miami. Maybe their front-running fans will show up to the Sweet 16.
