Alma Mater - Post Game

[BVille44]

I sit in the end zone and for the first time ever only 6 players stayed on the field for the alma mater.

I waited 5 minutes and Babers brought the entire team back on the field including some players with no shirts on.

After the alma mater he told the players to go to the 50. He then yelled to the band director from the 50 to stop playing.

After giving them team a talk he went down to the band director I assume to apologize for his team leaving the field.

Seems like a couple of losses may be causing some issues. Hoping for a win at Pitt to get them back on track.

I was worried how team would respond after last week. It was a brutal loss. Team is beat up. I think Dino can rally them and I’m glad he brought them back out. It’s a teaching moment and a leadership point. Most of the guys won’t be in the pros but I bet they remember these moments.

Stuff like this sounds like Clemson game is still lingering. Frustrated players.

It’s a long shot at this point but the orange bowl is still in play. Mind you, a very big long shot.

 

[Bulldog04]

Sounds like players upset at idiotic play calling for 2 games in a row and they are putting their heart and soul out there and not getting put into positions to win. I would be mad too

Which players stayed?

He will have some kumbaya and get the players heads right. We smoke Pitt 42-17 next week.

I love Syracuse football but if anyone thought this team was an orange bowl team, they're borderline delusional. They got incredibly lucky to win against Purdue/UVA and are very banged up, not having quality depth, which will undoubtedly get worse as the season goes on. They're going bowling and I'm satisfied with that accomplishment. Does that mean I want them to roll over and quit on the season? No way, but they're already overachieving based on recent history.

A couple of them should look in the mirror though, too many dropped passes today

I saw Gadsen for sure. I thought I saw Mang as well. For the rest, I did not see the numbers.

Hard to disagree. Lot of breaks earlier in the year.

Dino addressed it on the radio said there was some sort of miscommunication between him and the band director, not sure how that happens.

I call BS!! What is the miscommunication? The marching band has played the alma mater after every game I have attended in the last 31 years with the players standing on the goal line. Today the players started running in the tunnel immediately after the game and the marching band played it today with six players and the cheerleaders on the field.

The alma mater is dumb and archaic, and every time I hear it, I think of Dirty Dancing. Make it stop.

There, I said it.

 

[djorange1989]

This happened in 2019 too. Except that team was toxic and crappy so not worried here. Beat Pitt

I heard that as well. Felt like Matt Park was playing the puppet to ask the question and Dino did a “Gee whiz” cover up answer.

Abanakanda will be a major issue for our d.

It was handled internally and won’t happen again

So Anae was a great play caller for 6 games and now he stinks. This post is absurd .

I said the last 2 games it has stunk. No way you can disagree with that. Completely different than first 6

To be fair the clemson game was bad.

My beef’s more with the position coaches though. Especially WR.

I don't play for SU. I can be positive, but voice my concerns. I voiced my concerns regarding that ND would be able to run through our line all day. That doesn't mean I thought we'd lose. I don't like when my fears are validated.

What did play calling have to do with yesterday? Once again. “ Play Calling”. thee most overused, ridiculous criticism in the game of football.

There is no way to measure how terrible it was to run a reverse to Jackson because we can't complete a pass to him but that doesn't mean it first matter

Agree, brain dead play. You need one yard? Get one yard.
