Amazing line from Babers postgame...

[Rocco]

"I guarantee you people aren't excited about playing us. The 4 teams that are left, they're not saying 'oh goodie, here comes Syracuse'. I guarantee you that, I guarantee you that."

The confidence. He knows. Back through another wall I go.

 

[Rocco]

Right around the 1:30 mark... Listening to Babers speak is different than most coaches. He's got an "it" factor that captivates you.

I watched Mark Recht's pressed before this game and he was awful. Maybe he is better in the locker room but Dino exudes quiet confidence and loads of energy and control. Obviously his locker room speeches are inspiring but I think he generally exhibits qualities of a great leader. His demeanor is perfect for a team with something to prove.

Over on the Canesinsight board, most of them seem to be thankful to have escaped with a win. Reminds me with the LSU board looked like after we lost to them.

We played the #8 team in the country in their house and had a chance to tie the game in the last 1-2 minutes (down 8 at midfield).

I'm not sure that most of the top 25 could do that.

We beat the #2 team in the country.

I'm very sure that most of the top 25 couldn't do that.

Should we be in the T25? Absolutely not. We're 4-4 w/ a loss to MTSU. Are we currently one of the 25 best teams in the country? You better believe it. We're dangerous.

Perfect post

Babers' team is dangerous, for sure.

This team needs this bye week, and then bring it together (running game, passing, defense) for the games that fans will remember.

Well said. We're one of the top 25 teams in the country through 8 weeks. We've played the toughest schedule to date and have fared pretty damn well.

Reminder that this is still a roster at only 70-75% capacity for this system. Next year's class adds quality depth across the board.

Yes, GREAT line.

I also love what he said when talking about Dungey... "He's fearless, he's wreckless and we love him".

Dino has charisma. He is a great salesmen for the program. This is really important because he is a great interview and will continue to get lots of air time that money just can't buy.

Gotta stop bringing up MTSU as a negative on the season. Brent Stockstill was seen as one of the better QBs for the upcoming draft. He's out for the season. They haven't been the same since. A game they shouldn't have lost, but MTSU was one of the better non P5 teams in the nation last year.

That’s all true - but I think if they have any other DC, they lose.

If we played them again we would beat them.

All the coaches left on our schedule are wondering if the Orange are as good as they seem, and Dino is messaging:

They KNOW the answer. Even a drunk fan could tell you that this team is absolutely for real.

Which is a huge plus for us... as long as he stays with us.

Every program that is reeling for their next coach must be drooling over him.
