Buffalo

[Trueblue25]

no one cares about Buffalo in Syracuse and no one cares about Buffalo in Buffalo

thats increasingly becoming a false narrative in Buffalo.

 

[CousCuse]

it wouldn’t spur interest because no one cares about Buffalo

I watched some Temple games this year and they were getting a pretty good amount of fans. Who would have thunk it.

temple has had a good run, but most Syracuse fans see a program that was booted from a bad Big East

 

[Trueblue25]

You can call it baloney or whatever you'd like. I don't want to play Buffalo because I don't care about Buffalo. UConn is different. I don't want to play them because I want them to die a slow, painful death. Rutgers, OK. We have to play a P5 team, so we might as well beat them in one of our recruiting grounds. But again, not every year.

The only way we give Buffalo any 'gain' is the amount we would have to pay them for a buy game, or the ticket revenue from all the SU fans that would show up to their crappy stadium.

Like I said, once in a while, fine. Every year? No way.

Done here. Keep tilting at your windmills, Don Quixote. It will never, ever happen.

This is a fair response and pretty much how I feel about it.

Who was the Syracuse QB the first game you remember watching the Orange play?

 

[HSPORANGE]

If any of you have not experienced Teds Hot Dogs on Niagara Falls Blvd in Buffalo, I pity the hell out of you.

from one fat soul to others, that place is a gem. Better than Heids, I’ll say it.

Blasphemy!!! Teds is not in the same stratosphere as Heids for the basic fact that Hoffmans>>> Sahlens

 

[HSPORANGE]

Do you ever ask yourself when did you lose your imagination and sense of humor?

Ahh Thank you for confirming that you are constantly trolling. I was starting to worry that you were out of touch with reality.

Pat Stark.

 

[CousCuse]

BH.

Is everything on this board supposed to be completely serious like we're on the BOT or something? People come here to suck the joy and fun out of idle fan banter.

I don't think anyone here objects to joking and fun. It's when you don't drop the joke after a certain number of posts, it tends to lose it's humor for some. Although I stopped taking you seriously a long time ago so no big deal to me.

 

[FloridaFan]

You versus research is a tough matchup.

I think research is a 4 point favorite on a neutral field

You prepared to die on this hill? I am. Teds is on another level.

 

[orange79]

Just not as high a level as Heid's.

 

[Trueblue25]

Just not as high a level as Heid's.

Dont even get me started about Mighty Taco.

guys Heids is classic, it is.

Ted’s is legendary

 

[UnknownOrange]

I think if they scheduled a game with the Orange at the Ralph at this time, they could fill it. That would be something.

I’m not reading 8 pages because there cannot be a better post than this. We can’t even fill our own stadium against Clemson but we’re gonna fill the Ralph? Against the Buffalo BULLS?

*chef’s kiss*
Beautiful

If you don't read the entire thread, you won't have the correct context. It's like watching The Rise of Sky Walker and assuming you understand the entire Star Wars saga.

Who was the QB in the first Syracuse Orange football game you watched them play?

Why is this an important data point for you?

Just wondering you seem to have a love of Eastern football. I am curious how far you go back?

Just wondering you seem to have a love of Eastern football. I am curious how far you go back?

I started watching football in the late '60's early '70's as a kid. The NFL was much more popular then, than college football but I realized at that young age that, the pro guys played in college before they were pro's. So then I would watch as much college football as I was able to, to be able to see the guys who would be the stars in the NFL. You follow so far? Well, one day I'm watching a pro game around say 1972, and the announcer says that JIM BROWN, played his college ball at Syracuse. Well, I fell off the couch. Do you mean to tell me that the greatest football player of all-time played right here in CNY for the Syracuse Orangemen? Since that instant, Syracuse University and SU sports took on an entirely different dimension to me and that has lasted to this day. That Syracuse strives to be in the very top level of sport. In any event, the 70's were not a great decade for Syracuse football, but they would be on TV occasionally during The Hurley era. I would say when I really started following the Orange was when coach Mac took the reigns ( I used the word reigns here because of the season) and Donny MacPherson was the QB. Now none of this has a lot to do with this thread. I do firmly believe that when the Big East football dissolved, that Syracuse lost all it's ties to it's historical greatness and something needs to be done to get that back. Maybe playing Buffalo could help a little. I'm not sure, but I can tell you that this Southern league hasn't been something good for our teams, the money has been good, but the rest has been enervating.

You got my respect with this answer. You got a lot of energy tip of the cap.

I will answer my own question for you just to know the first QB I was old enough to remember was Todd Philcox.
I went to game at Ohio State as a young kid either 1988 or 1989 he was the QB.

I played pick up basketball with him at Archbold gym a couple of times. He was a great QB for that year he stepped in.
