Actual Quote from The Shawshank Redemption

[Dick_in_MI]

Andy: "Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things"

Red: "This is Syracuse football we're talking about, Andy. Hope will make you crazy"

Red is so right but I'm with Andy on this one. Sure, we haven't beaten anybody. Even worse, we also lost to a team that isn't anybody. But Liberty hasn't beaten anybody either.

My faith is with the defense. I think we win this one. The O will look better than they did against the school in Piscataway that I will not name.

I expect Liberty to focus on Tucker and make us beat them through the air. We will "liberate" them from that strategy and possibly of the bad pun I just made as well. I don't expect an air show but I expect our QB's to do enough to get points on the board.

I expect the all-time field goal record holder, Andre Szmyt, to be the difference in this one.

24-21 in a game that will not feel as close as the final score. If hope is good enough for Andy Dufresne, it's good enough for me.

Amen.

And to the naysayers...

 

[blizz]

We (everyone who hangs out on this board) are the definition of "institutionalized"

 

[Scooch]

I won't mention the Ted Lasso quote about hope.

But yeah, I'm with you Dick, against all evidence to the contrary I'll be hoping we win tonight and turn this season around. Why not?

I'm going to start writing "Brooks was here" on a wall every time I'm excited for, and disappointed by, a football game.

We're in the middle of a once-a-century pandemic, we have work, family, all of life's struggles and challenges...

No reason to shy away from hope. Or to believe. It's sports, it causes pain a lot of the times, but when it makes you happy, it's totally worth it.

We win tonight. Sean Tucker runs for a bunch. Our Orange Tsunami defense will shut them down. Will win specials.

We'll be 3-1 and all of a sudden, there may be hope for a bowl.

I was watching The Sopranos for the first time and they mentioned Syracuse (twice) flopping again -_-. As Savy as those NJ boys were, they should have learned never to bet on Syracuse football. With that said, 27-24, Good guys.


LEGGGGOOOOOOOOOOO

Wait, wait, wait... Did you just start watching Sopranos or are you talking about prior, when you watched it?

Just finished it for the first time ever, yesterday. I tried to watch it once before but the whole mob thing has never really been appealing to me. I liked it a lot. I even liked the ending. Idk why people had such a hard time with it, it's pretty obvious what happened. They spent all season 6B setting it up.

With that said, that's the first mob related entertainment I've ever watched. I've never seen the Godfather, Goodfellas, or anything else.

You’ve been missing out on some great movies then.

Well - not Godfather III, but the first 2 are all-time classics.

Start with Goodfellas, it’s got some humor to balance out the violence.

You know the saying Hope Floats....well......

I mean every fall, every fan hopes...so we all float too! Time to put Liberty into the Deadlights.

I literally heard Morgan Freeman reciting this post in my head as I read it

I literally heard Morgan Freeman reciting this post in my head as I read it

Red: “I hope I get to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope that the Pacific is as blue as in my dreams. I hope that Andy doesn’t expect me to help him fix that boat. I hope the Covid vaccination the warden gave me wasn’t a placebo. I hope that Syracuse scores 150 points on Liberty. I hope the Orange gives #44 to Sean Tucker”.

“I hope”

Andy Davoli, a local Syracuse guy (Joe Davoli's son). Joe was an SU grad. Andy played Dino Zerilli in the Sopranos. I knew Joe and his family. Joe was a close friend of one of my brothers.

Oh man, it’s such a good show. At least you go through it. Agreed about the ending, outside of, it was over.

I tried watching it when it first came out and couldn’t get in to it and I love that stuff. Are you saying I should take a run at it again?

S$$$ that hypocrite Liberty college. I hope we crush them.

i get a pidgeon in my pocket every time brooks mentions Syracuse.

Yeah, you have to grind it out until season 3 but then you get invested in the characters and that's when it gets good.

If I watched it a second time, I'm sure I would like it better than the first.

I’ll give it a go again then. Same thing happened with breaking bad. Watch the first episode and just didn’t do much for me. But I picked it up a few months later (this was years ago) and then couldn’t stop watching it.
