Alright, 2005 Orange vs 2020 Orange...who you got???

[Forza Azzurri]

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Tim Lane with the game winner from lluvmygrands. 2005

The 2020 offense would not score a point on the 2005 defense unfortunately

 

[JKinPhilly]

I think we all would lose having to watch that one

 

[GoSU96]

Dear lord

 

[Nick44]

If we combined both teams into one team and allowed them to play that 2005 schedule...

3-8 record.

Offensive MVP - Damien Rhodes
Defensive MVP - Steve Gregory
ST MVP - Andre Szmyt

If they played the 2020 schedule... 2-9 record.

SMH that the two MVPs on this team would’ve been recruited by a coach who was here 20+ years ago. Haven’t recruited at our puncher’s weight since the late 90’s.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Our leading touchdown receiver in 2005 was some guy named Nicholas Chestnut (who?), who caught a sizzling 3 of them...on 8 catches. Man, efficiency.

Check out this Qb play!

 

[syrBossHogg]

Is the 2005 team playing backups on the O-line too?

 

[All4SU]

Who wouldn’t take Perry Patterson on this team right now?

2004 or 2006 Perry Patterson yes, but probably not 2005 Perry Patterson. Under 50% completions, almost twice as many INT's as TD's. I think Rex can match that.

Wow - that actually makes me appreciate what we have today.

 

[NineOneSeven]

6 and 11 from our starting qb!

 

[CanadianSU]

im sad how it’s back

 

[kcsu]

The little train: 10-37
Ohana: 24-29

What can we take from this?
Maybe the next coach should have strong east coast ties.

Why? Are you going to recruit NJ and PA like everybody else? Or NY where football is basically dead?

As if I already didn't have enough reasons to start drinking at 739a

No because the 2005 starters would have been 3rd stringers on any other D-1 team in the country.

Yes i would. Our best success has come from eastern coaches. Mac, P, Doug. I also look around the country and by and large good coaches dont travel well outside of their background areas. Joe is one hell of a coach and he failed in Mississippi. I also believe that NY NJ PA New England can produce a solid 40% of our recruits each year. 8-9 kids.
Next up Florida, and the Beltway. Our assistant coaches should all have strong ties to our primary recruiting areas. Relationships matter. Heck look at Cav. He cant land a kid in our own back yard but is having success in Hawaii. Why? Because of connections. Last point. NY athletes are plentiful but raw. The last few years have proven that with development they can turn into stars. So yes my next coach and staff would have a very strong east coast and Florida background.

ny athletes aren’t playing football. That’s the entire point. NJ/ PA is overfished. I think if you look at our current roster you would be surprised how many kids from Northeast and Canada we have on our roster. I just disagree, I think because it worked 40 years ago does not mean much. Game has changed a lot since P was wearing his polyester coaching shorts.

hire the best coach and give him time. there’s coaches who have done well and poorly coaching where or where they are nit from but football is a dying sport in the Northeast

Agreed. How about strong eastern seaboard/Florida ties?

 

[McNabb2Brominski]

The ‘05 defense was nice. Give me the ‘05 defense with Gerg as DC and the ‘20 offense with Rhodes + Dino as HC/OC.

 

[dollarbill44]

Sounds like an OT FG highlight reel.

 

[Bayside44]

So a third of the country?

I think to his credit Dino is re-figuring it out. Those German kids would be high 3 star types if their families came to the states in the 1940s and settled in PA. Canada, etc...Dino is a different type of bird and needs to find the same.
